ESA Director General marks Asteroid Day 2016
ESA Director General Jan Woerner sends a message to mark Asteroid Day 2016, an annual global movement to increase public awareness of potential asteroid impacts with Earth, and the importance of guarding against them. It is held each year on 30 June, the anniversary of the largest impact in recent history, the 1908 Tunguska event in Siberia.

Thank you Mr. Woerner for focusing on the need to take asteroids seriously. Unfortunately you're right: Bruce Willis probably will not be able to save us the next time around.:)
