Iannotta talks about the need to monitor near-Earth object (NEO). The White House and Congress could create an agency or assign one to lead and marshal international talents before a dangerous objects pops up. Congress has directed NASA to find, track and describe dangerous NEOs. No one has the job of figuring out how to deflect dangerous objects or blow them up. For its observation mission, NASA relies on a loose, global network of ground telescopes and astronomers from other organizations. A better way would be to launch a telescope into space specifically to look for NEOs.
