as Administrator Griffin seems to be unaware that they hit the Earth as well:
"Again, these missions represent some of the most technically challenging
science missions for NASA over the next decade. And I'm also very intrigued
by Ed Lu and Rusty Schweickart's ideas about nudging large near-Earth
asteroids before they can pose a threat to humanity. We will most certainly
continue our work to discover large asteroids close to the Earth."
This charade about the impact hazard is coming to an end.
