Agree with FC on this one, Dent. Your way goes the path of the Luddites, fear based. I don't think that's the right course for humanity at all, given our place in the cosmos -- technology has caused far more benefit than it has ever caused harm, in my opinion -- of course, that's of the existentialist variety.
I really think that if it gets to the point where some Lex Luthor madman can just "direct" a fucking humongous asteroid to Earth, we will have already mastered the ability to deflect them by then. Or at the very least, prevent madmen from setting collision courses. Spaceland Security.
