This mandate was created in response to recent scientific data indicating large impact events were common in Earth's geologic past and therefore will likely occur again in the future. Many new NEAs have been discovered as a result of NASA's efforts and research is under way to find ways to stop such impact events from occurring.The above paragraph suggests that, unlike other natural hazards, asteroid impacts ________.
