Ok, I'll bite.
If an asteroid suddenly started spewing huge amounts of crude oil into outer space, I think there would suddenly be funding for NASA.
If an asteroid released a small amount of radiation into outer space... nobody would notice.

Ummm, the USSR hasn't been in business for like, um, 20 years? You need to get out more.
Not if Putin has his way. He's gunning for a Soviet reUnion. 'This week he has unveiled a grand vision to create a “Eurasian Union” linking old Soviet neighbours, foreseeing a “powerful, supranational union, capable of becoming one of the poles of the modern world”.'
The best way to accelerate a Macintoy is at 9.8 meters per second per second.
