Planetary Defense -- Planetary Defense Commenting about 'Planetary Defense', Sir Arthur C. Clarke wrote: '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.'
