YOUTH INVOLVEMENT ON NEAR EARTH OBJECTS ISSUES

摘要

Near Earth Objects have been put into the focus of attention on many fronts in recent years. With the potential threat they pose to Earth, the issue clearly is a global one and with half the world's population being under 25 years of age, also one concerning youth. The Space Generation Advisory Council (SGAC) created a NEO project working group to address some of those issues. In collaboration with Rusty Schweickart and other entities concentrating on NEOs, activities were being sought how youth can get involved and contribute towards the matter.
