SAN FRANCISCO (Feb. 17) - An asteroid may come  uncomfortably close to Earth 
in 2036 and the United Nations should assume  responsibility for a space 
mission to deflect it, a group of astronauts,  engineers and scientists said on 
Saturday.  Astronomers are monitoring an  asteroid named Apophis, which has a 1 
in 45,000 chance of striking Earth on  April 13, 2036.
