CNN correspondent Tom Foreman said on "The Lead with Jake Tapper" that NASA could potentially stop monitoring asteroids during the shutdown. “A big one, by the way, is expected to brush by Earth on February 4,” Foreman said on Friday's show. “For more than two weeks, NASA reportedly stopped monitoring potentially dangerous asteroids,” he said. “NASA representatives say there's no chance that it will collide with Earth,” Space.com reported. CNN suggested that we could get hit by an asteroid because of the Schumer Shutdown,” conservative journalist Carmine Sabia tweeted.
