Ever see Titan A.E.?

That's a little more involved :D

But the same concept. And who would pay for this large facility? We have enough problems getting money to fund *finding* the asteroids that will cause the end of the world, let alone doing something about it....

If its for asteriod protection wouldn't it be easier and cheeper to build a subterranean bomb type shelter.
Reminds me of the Bond film Moonraker.

Uh, *cough*, erm. Mr. A, you do know there's a difference between an arc and an ark right?

ha! well, I've a very bad habit of mixing words sometimes, I don't catch them all. They even mention it in the article, I just slipped it in by mistake....

now don't start on they're and their....:p

As for building a subterranean bomb type shelter that's fine because if its deep and big enough it will be ok in a cataclysmic event. If its a very big event, then having anything on the Moon might be too close anyway.

I think the main issue here is to get people to start worrying a little more about the fragility of life in general and steps need to be taken eventually to secure it a little better and lower the chance of total annihilation.
