International asteroid day

The United Nations General Assembly chose this date in memory of the Tunguska event in Siberia that occurred on June 30, 1908.

The idea of celebrating this date is the result of a proposal from the Association of Space Explorers that was approved by the "Commission on the Use of Outer Space for Peaceful Purposes", this body of the United Nations National Organization - this body created in 1959 it is the one that regulates the exploration and exploitation of outer space and is or should be the highest governing body or the highest authority in future colonies on the moon or mars.

The intention is to convert the moon or mars or any other space outside the earth into a space of peace where you can explore, investigate, do science and also do business with space mining or industry in a peaceful way, this is in theory.

I imagine the companies focused on asteroid mining, right now they are small companies with initial projects, these will have a similarity to the first companies that were building the first planes or the first cars at the end or beginning of the late 19th century, these companies can take off at any time as soon as spacecraft capable of traveling to asteroids are available and resources that are really profitable are found there, because at the moment the problem is that traveling to space is extremely expensive.

1908 is not that long ago! It would be really good if people remembered that such natural events can also occur. From my point of view, we should rather try to counteract them than to fight each other!
But such an impact (unfortunately?) doesn't happen often enough.
The mining of resources in space should first be well researched. Who knows, for example, how this influences the trajectory of asteroids...?
In any case, I am sceptical! After all, we haven't even managed to distribute the resources on Earth peacefully...
That's right, they are events with return periods that depend on the size of the asteroid.
It only takes a good hit for many more people to be interested in looking up, unfortunately that is the case.
If so, there will be conflict over extraterrestrial resources.
Yes, I think so too. In addition, there will be a conflict over the remaining earthly resources.
