Subject: Open questions in meteor science?
Hi,
I would like to ask some questions about the current state of knowledge and
find out which of the following questions are still undecided:
1. What are the probabilities and risks of major impacts from meteors?
2. What are the identified potential future threats?
3. Are there any organisations which have been set up to act and advise
governments?
4. Are there any international government/military plans to detect and
tackle threats?
5. What is the consensus on the effectiveness of planned measures given the
understanding of the risks?
Many thanks for your time,
