re: There's A New NEO Detection Champ
"CSS found nearly half the NEOs discovered in 2005 at just one-sixth the 2005 NASA Near-Earth Object Observations Program budget. The CSS team succeeded at finding about 25 NEOs a month despite a week of downtime due to lightning damage last year."
An yet folks still believe that non-NASA efforts can't put folks on the Moon and Mars faster and far cheaper than NASA.
