  • It really is more a function of time than anything else. The more time you have, the less action needed to change things. Plus, more time to analyze and confirm the path of danger as well as what the object is composed of (very important for what actions to take). Being able to detect early is our biggest weak point, as there is no active 24/7 search fully dedicated to that goal, it’s all done from the night side of the planet during unused time on professional telescopes, and by amateurs wanting to verify their findings. The best way is with a full time space-based sweep in an orbit far from Earth.
