We can’t predict natural disasters like earthquakes far in advance, but we can prepare for asteroid strikes. Scientists and engineers are working on plans to defend Earth if a large asteroid is headed our way. Techniques like changing an asteroid’s path have been tested successfully by NASA.
Role-playing games are helpful in preparing for asteroid strikes by revealing potential problems in the plans. Global collaboration and clear communication are key in avoiding disaster. These lessons apply not just to asteroids, but also to other threats like climate change and pandemics.
Addressing these challenges requires both technical solutions and social cooperation. Effective communication and collaboration are essential for solving the world’s biggest problems, whether in a game or in reality.
