Astronomers How Much Will It Help?
Graph Of Cost Vs Benefit Of Possible Next Step Search Programs
Assuming the Discovery Channel scope matches the 4m ground scope in this graph 65% of the sub global risk could be eliminated in 10 years compared to 80% for most of the 200 - 300 million dollar options, 95% for the most expensive Venus related options, and 10 % for the current top dog LINEAR. Can the astronomy epxerts comemnt on this interpretation and how long it would take for the DC scope to reduce the sub global risk by 90%? I'd guess 30 to 50 years.
