Dumb

"By going to a near-Earth object, an asteroid, and perhaps even modifying its trajectory slightly, we would demonstrate a hallmark in human history," said Grunsfeld, who flew on three shuttle missions to fix the Hubble Space Telescope. "The first time humans showed that we can make better decisions than the dinosaurs made 65 million years ago."

This was in an article on Yahoo news. No laughter followed, no silly banter was at work, and this was not written on the 1st of April. Us humans show that we can make better decisions than the dinosaurs?

Does anyone actually listen to the experts, or do we just eat it for breakfast and wait for lunch?

He got it wrong, we showed we made better decisions than the dinosaurs when we decided to quit smoking and lower our caloric intake.
