| A Near-Earth Object (NEO) has recently been sighted and is on a path to possibly collide with the Earth. NASA has sent an urgent letter to an expert space research team asking for their help in determining the effects of a collision and the ability of other planets in our solar system to support life. The research team needs to provide the President of the United States with information on the effects of the event and a plan so that the President can address the American public. | |
