The Near Earth Problem | Planetary Alert

🚨 In This Episode, We Explore:

• The Apophis Flyby Why 19,000 miles is far closer—and more dangerous—than it sounds, and how Earth’s gravity could reshape the asteroid’s future path.
• The Solar Blind Spot The terrifying truth about “city-killer” asteroids hiding in the Sun’s glare—and why we might not see them coming until it’s too late.
• Ancient Catastrophe Evidence of a devastating cosmic impact 12,800 years ago that may have reset human civilization—and what it means for our future.
• Planetary Defense Breakthroughs How NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission proved we can actually move an asteroid.
• The “After” Scenario What happens if we fail: collapsing infrastructure, global famine, and the fragile systems we take for granted unraveling in days.

We’ve officially entered a new era— not speculation… but application.

For the first time in human history, we’re not just watching the sky—we’re learning how to defend against it. But the question remains:

Will we act in time… or repeat history?

🎧 Listen now and explore the science, the risks, and the future of planetary survival.
