The Giggle Factor (GF). Mention "Planetary Defense" and you'll soon
understand. Even without invoking the sinister vision of alien
beings arriving to enslave or destroy humanity, the eyebrows of
serious and senior members of the national defense and scientific
communities go askew when the subject is broached, whether at
cocktail parties or congressional budget hearings. Even the most
ardent supporters of defending the Earth from cataclysmic cometary
or asteroidal impacts share occasional public or private chuckles
with colleagues and skeptics-behavior considered unthinkable when
discussing means to avert or mitigate the catastrophic epidemics,
wars of aggression and genocide, and terrestrial natural disasters
that have peppered man's history on Earth.
