NASA's Charles Bolden Says if Asteroid Heads Toward Us, Our Only Defense is to Pray
The head of NASA, Charles Bolden, reminded America just how unprepared we are for an asteroid, as he said the only hope at this point is to pray.
As he spoke in front of the House Science Committee, he said that the U.S. doesn’t even have the capabilities to defend itself from an asteroid similar to the one that exploded over Russia last month.
After he was asked what NASA’s plans were if they saw a similar asteroid coming for New York, Bolden said, “The answer to you is, if it’s coming in three weeks, pray.”
