The house has just passed the Charles "Pete" Conrad Astronomy Awards Act which awards $3,000 to each Near-Earth asteroid found by amateur astronomers.
Last time I checked, the LINEAR team has found 1,127,759 asteroids of which 951 of them were NEO's. Wonder how much it would cost to put together a one-meter scope and some software....
