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.
If an asteroid the size of Kansas fell out of the sky because some contractor screwed up the orbital insertion, I think a lot of people would notice.
