Doesn't this indicate that they believe ETs are out there and presumed to be a threat. Is this based on some history that they know.
My thought was if they have this system in place what is the point? Have they successfully stopped any asteroids lately, or at all? I mean we have never had a threat right?

They don't need to scan because they know they are already here...
Why waste resources when the already know?
