Abstract :

Problem: Present day technology does not provide detection and/or deterrence of small to medium size asteroids. Large asteroids can be seen, such as 2014 The Beast, which came close to the earth, but interception and control is not possible. Just as important, detecting this large asteroid three months before flyby was not enough time to deter. Cities could be evacuated, but the global economic damage of losing a city or country would be crippling. Solution: Build a Space Qualified Silicon Space Drone(s) that has only submicron thermal growth, subsecond thermal equilibration low microyield, long term stability, does not creep, does not jitter, is radhard, is economical to build. We can work together globally as the Family of the Earth with each country contributing funds and science as protective brothers and sisters. Successful detection and deterrence can lead to the capture and mining. We can use what could cause harm for good by mining precious minerals. Even possibly building a rock lined road to another inhabitable planet for the future family millions of years down the road. Mankind is fundamentally a species of builders and explorers. Why stop now?
