Interesting report on getting ready for Apophis. One concern which I hope was included in the simulation is the problem of apocalyptic religious fanatics (one of whom is the head of the house science committee) sabotaging any efforts to avert disaster on the grounds that it is "God's Will" and hence blasphemy to try to prevent it. Being an ass-toot politician, he would probably frame Apophis as a conspiracy by scientists to scare people if it turns out it goes through that infamous keyhole. IMHO, religion in the form promoted by the "Tea Party of Stupid" is an existential threat to all life on earth in that scenario.
