NASA expert warns of risks from asteroid impacts

Humberto Campins, an asteroid expert at NASA, has stated that while there are currently no known asteroids threatening Earth, it is crucial for humanity to prepare for planetary defense. This call for preparedness comes in light of the low risk of an impact over a person's lifetime, as noted by the specialist.

Despite the very low probability of an asteroid impacting Earth, Campins emphasizes the need to continue research and develop action plans for possible future scenarios.
