Slightly leftfield, but rather than repeating what's already out there with these Friday events, focused on the future missions:http://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2013/02/asteroid-highlights-investigate-neos-nasa-missions/(I'll set up a NEA section when I get time - hosting in Orion for now).
Great article Chris. Exciting day yesterday. I wonder if you wanted to substitute the first photo with this I found on the net today.http://i.imgur.com/SnVvLv8.gif

You could mention that there's a private alternative awaiting funding:http://b612foundation.org/sentinelmission/Disclaimer: If sufficiently funded to production, I'll be working on supporting this derivative of the Kepler spacecraft...
Chris,I used an on-line tool to reduce it to 320x92, see if this will work.
Is anyone else amazed that so many Russians happened to have cameras recording on their dashboards?
I agree that the first priority with regard to NEAs should be deeper surveys to find more of them ...
"drive need" ?"illusive" plan? As in it's an illusion or did you mean elusive? C'mon Chris, you have maintain your high standards. If you need a proofreader just let me know. The rest of it was top notch. Outlining target NEOs and the planning NASA is doing towards visiting them.Hopefully we hear more news of that exploration plan soon.
