Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Asteroid deflection is a public good because it is nonrival, meaning one person's consumption of it does not diminish its availability to others, and nonexcludable, meaning it is difficult or impossible to exclude individuals from its benefits once it has been provided. This makes it a difficult good for private markets to provide, as there is little incentive for individual actors to fund it, and it is also difficult for governments to provide, as they face a collective action problem in getting multiple actors to fund and provide it. Therefore, it is most appropriate to consider asteroid deflection a public good.
