An Independent Take on NASA's NEO Report

Independent Analysis of Alternatives To Divert a NEO on a Likely Collision Course With Earth, Russell L. Schweickart

“Based on our recent email exchange and your invitation to, “Send us your specific criticisms, or come in and talk, either way, and we will hear your concerns, and respond” I have put together an independent analysis for your consideration. What I attach is approximately a parallel analysis of the various alternatives for diverting a threatening NEO to that which NASA submitted to the Congress. In it I provide the basic logic and resultant conclusions and then juxtapose them with the NASA response commenting on why the apparent difference.”
