All it would take is one space rock of the right size to wipe out everything on Earth in an instant. I believe our species having the ability to survive that sort of calamity is an extremely important thing.
Your right about that John, you think the Govt would tell us if some asteroid was heading our way LOL

No really I would like to see some sort of backup plan because you never know. Heck they are finding new stars and asteroids all the time.

Thanks,
