And an asteroid *could* come crashing into the Earth and extinct-ify us all, as has happened in the past.
Most people would consider someone who is overly concerned with such an asteriod to be emotionally hysterical. And although the probability that a 9-11 event will happen again is, to some degree, greater than another asteriod event, a concern of either is still emotionally based. If, as the series author points out, the 9-11 event was a last ditch type of effort, the 9-11 concern is even more emotionally based.
How long do we have to go living our lives based on emotional instead of empirical decisions?
