I hadn’t kept up with it. I think it will do for NEOs and the like what Kepler did for extrasolar planets. I doubt there’s a dinosaur killer size out there now, but still plenty of city killers to find, and they are the ones we can realistically alter course once we know about them.
You should check out the NEO Surveyor mission. Planned launch is in 2027 :)
