WASHINGTON - NASA officials say the space agency is capable of finding
nearly all the asteroids that might pose a devastating hit to Earth,
but there isn't enough money to pay for the task so it won't get done.

Kamchatkans and Venezuelans beware. A 20-million-tonne asteroid could
be heading your way. Californians have even more reason to worry -- the
asteroid is more likely to hit the Pacific Ocean, triggering a tsunami
that could devastate the west coast of North America.

COLUMBIA, Mo. – The dinosaurs, along with the majority of all other
animal species on Earth, went extinct approximately 65 million years

| NASA Begins Planning To Deal With Asteroid Threat

It is the stuff of nightmares and, until now, Hollywood thrillers. A
huge asteroid is on a catastrophic collision course with Earth and
mankind is poised to go the way of the dinosaurs. To save the day, Nasa now plans to go where only Bruce Willis has gone
before. The US space agency is drawing up plans to land an astronaut on
an asteroid hurtling through space at more than 30,000 mph. It wants to
know whether humans could master techniques needed to deflect such a
doomsday object when it is eventually identified. The proposals are at
an early stage, and a spacecraft needed just to send an astronaut that
far into space exists only on the drawing board, but they are deadly
serious. A smallish asteroid called Apophis has already been identified
as a possible threat to Earth in 2036.

HAMBURG - In a scenario resembling the dramatic conclusion to a TV
crime drama, paleo-forensics experts have produced new evidence to show

that has received the rap for their extinction.
