NASA clearly has a vested interest in attracting, engaging, and preparing its future STEM professionals.
We cannot identify every object. However, NEO Surveyor will be able to identify 90 percent of all the potential asteroids that are greater than 140 meters wide within the 10 years of the launch.
Look what happened when we spent the money on the Apollo program. Two generations of technology development came out of it.
One of the reasons you and I were able to accomplish so much on this committee is both of us worked very hard to keep politics out of NASA and to focus on the core mission of exploration.
