Such an effort requires money. NASA gets its money from the federal government, which also dictates, in the large, how that money is to be spent. What is asked is not something that NASA can just arbitrarily decide to blast full speed ahead and do.

Your representatives in Congress are the ones you have to convince.

After reading the referenced article, I recalled watching a show some time ago about someone who was tracking old legends and geologic evidence of a tsunami. He concluded that there may have been a large impact somewhere in the Indian Ocean around 5,000 B. C. I wish I'd paid more attention to that show ...
