    One thing that's had me wondering about all these videos is why so many people just happened to be filming the road ahead of them while they were driving. Well, it turns out motorists in Russia all tend to have a dashboard-cam:

    The thing is, though, with Fox News, would it really surprise you?

    EDIT: in the interests of fairness, though, CNN needs to photoshopping

    How did you find all that so quickly? I'm surprised you didn't see through ASO immediately.

    Yes.

    Fox Nation, though? It'd be right at home.

    Russia to spend billions on asteroid defense

    Moscow believes an operable national defense against threats from outer space can be built within 10 years’ time. The 500-kiloton explosion of a space bolide above the Urals region has sped-up allocation of some $2 billion to prevent future threats.

    Russian scientists have presented a federal program designed to counteract space threats. Elaborated by the Institute of Astronomy at Russia’s Academy of Sciences and the Central Engineering Research Institute, Russia’s leading space industry enterprise, the program has already been approved by Roskosmos, the national space agency.

    The program has nothing to do with Hollywood sci-fi movie scenarios; no lasers, annihilators or Bruce Willis drilling a huge peace of rock rushing towards Earth.

    The system will consist of a network of robotic telescopes monitoring space around our planet, some of them delivered to orbit, others operating from the surface.
