Asteroid 2009 DD45, a space rock the size of a large office building, streaked past earth yesterday – missing us by a mere 40,000 miles – and surprising astronomers. Our Moon is about 250,000 miles away to give you some idea of how close this object was to hitting us. How much money is in the Stimulus Plan for asteroid detection?
