NASA shouldn’t fund into asteroids because they won’t have enough money since they already got $59 million dollars off their budget.

In other smaller businesses, that have already started on studying them, are trying to take those asteroids and bring them to Earth to study what they are made of and what is inside of the rocks. Stateing from a video called Mining Asteroids: Planetary Science they said, “Most of near Earth asteroids aren't a threat, instead of what people think.” and, “That is why we are trying to bring those asteroids to Earth and study what is inside of them.” Planetary Science is trying to study asteroids so we can them go further into our
