Planetary Defense Who will save Earth? Scientists and the military have only recently awakened to the notion that impacts with Earth do still happen. "Planetary Defense”, reviews current efforts to save Earth from catastrophic impacts by asteroids and comets. Features leading scientists, military officials and futurists; including Sir Arthur C. Clarke, Apollo 9 astronaut Rusty Schweickart, Freeman Dyson, David H. Levy and many more. Available on DVD. "Planetary Defense" meets with both the scientific and military communities to study our options to mitigate an impact with Earth from large meteors, asteroids and comets, collectively known as NEO's (Near Earth Objects). “Civilization is ill prepared for the inevitable. It's not if an impact will happen with the Earth, it's when!” ""It's fascinating - you have done an excellent job in blending the scientific, technological, political and military aspects of NEO threats. I cannot agree with you more that it's not if; it's just a matter of when! Without exaggeration, I can say this is one of the most important documentaries made. You may quote me on this." -Sir Arthur C. Clarke, Author, "2001: A Space Odyssey" “Your production is the best there is regarding NEOs, the threat of impact, and what might be done about it.“ -Rusty Schweickart, Apollo 9 Astronaut; Chairman, ASE-NEO Committee; Chairman B-612 Foundation "A brilliant, original and creative look at the danger Earth faces from space." -David H. Levy, Jarnac Observatory, Tucson, Arizona, May 23, 2007 “No matter where the next big impact occurs, we’re all in big trouble!” -Duncan Steel (Space Researcher, Author) “Planetary Defense” - nominated ‘Best Picture’ for a 'Sir Arthur Clarke' Award (The British 'Oscars®' for Space Achievements) alongside Ron Howard's ‘In the Shadow of the Moon’.
