Book excerpt: Winner of the 2022 International Academy of Astronautics (IAA) Social Sciences Book Award Impacts by asteroids or comets on Earth may lead to natural disasters of catastrophic dimensions, one of the most devastating having caused the extinction of the dinosaurs 66 million years ago. Space agencies and other actors are increasingly dedicated to the development of technology to predict and mitigate such risks.
