Sixty-five million years ago, a gigantic asteroid collided with
Earth. The resulting dust clouds and fire storm blotted out the
sunlight, destroying much of the animal, plant, and fish life -
most notably, the dinosaurs. What would happen if another giant
asteroid found itself on a collision course with Earth? Doomsday
Asteroid: Can We Survive? is the most comprehensive current book
for general readers to address the threats and potential benefits
of asteroids. Space experts Donald W. Cox and James H. Chestek
explain the major differences between comets and asteroids and
describe what might happen should the Earth suffer a collision with
either one of them. Cox and Chestek present a view quite different
from that of astronomers: In particular, they cover the Earth
defense problem in more detail than any of the other popular works
on asteroids and they are critical of the science/astronomical
community and its approach to asteroid danger. They also call for
establishment of an International Spaceguard Command to oversee
planetary safety.
