I can agree with that. But that technology certainly isn't there yet. They can only track a fraction of the debris in space that could come in contact with earth. There's no sense in worrying about something we currently have no control over. And really what I was referring to was the individual. I mean, most of us here won't have any specific involvement in averting a life ending collision, and there's not much any of us can specifically do, so there's no real point in worrying about it when we wake up in the morning.
