Bad news. One of my favorite projects. I wonder if they are taking donations? It saved Dnetc.

This is one of the more important projects we crunch for that actually has an impact on the entire world. Surely global societies can see this as necessary and keep it goingOriginally Posted by Mike029
Yeah i thought NASA already had something searching for the Near Earth Asteroids. But all i could find was http://neat.jpl.nasa.gov/ and the latest update is from 2004. Can't find anything that says it has closed either though. It would be nice to know that something is running throughout 2012 though.
Edit: How could i miss the second sentence in wikipedia? "The NEAT project began in December 1995 and ran until April 2007.[1]".

I would guess that donations couldn't save that. DNETC needed a few hundred to pay for costs. Orbit, based on that grant info, needs several dozen thousand (at a BARE minimum) to get going...
Government is too busy bailing out companies with incompetent/overpaid management.

This is why we need Orbit to come back online in full force!

There could be a bigger one out there headed our way.
Don't get me started on all the worthless crap the Gov. has funded in the past year to the tune of TRILLIONS, that they couldn't have spared say $50K for this project? Just insane.
