Trump has increased funding from NASA due to the fear of the asteroid

The US authorities are ready to allocate a lump sum to NASA's global defense management. This is our website's website with a reference to "Express".

Thus, the budget of the national office of aeronautical and space research will be multiplied by three. Thus, its financial situation will increase from sixty million dollars to one hundred fifty million. The US President Trump explains this absolute reluctance of the inhabitants of the planet to the fall of a huge asteroid. And only NASA, thanks to a number of expensive research to protect humanity. Management representatives will be required to monitor objects in the Earth's orbit around the Sun. After that, they will develop a special Earth Defense Plan against extraterrestrial cosmic bodies.

It should be noted that before, NASA did not affirm any danger of collision between an asteroid and our planet. In their opinion, none of the twenty-five thousand asteroids threatened us. But now the situation has changed.
