"Public Opinion: Americans Prioritize Asteroid Spotting, While Biden's NASA Embarks on 'Woke' Mission"

According to a recent survey conducted by the Pew Research Center, Americans believe that NASA's top priority should be monitoring asteroids and objects that could potentially hit Earth, with 60% of respondents prioritizing this. Other important areas include monitoring Earth's climate (50%), researching the effects of space travel on human health (29%), and searching for life and planets that could support life (16%). The survey also revealed that exploring the moon and Mars with astronauts ranked low in priority for NASA.
