Why Not Up Funding for Search Technology?

September 14, 2013

I read “NASA Identifies 3 Potential Asteroid Targets to Catch With Space Lasso.” The idea sounds interesting. But given the findability problems which are causing many—including NASA scientists—to wring their hands, why not fund more research into search technology. I understand that NASA has some bold ideas, but a here-and-now challenge is information retrieval. If one cannot find pertinent technical information, will that asteroid roping plan work? Yippy ki-yay.
