That’s what the scramble would be. Space launches avoid a lot of risk because the missions isn’t worth loss of life. There is also a frugality to it.
That changes the second it comes down to saving millions of life and destruction of the way of life for everyone that survived. Money becomes unlimited and risk of life to save millions is tolerable.
If there was any way to calculate a risk above zero, someone like Musk would be playing it up to get access to that funding.
I 100% guarantee people will be arguing over who should pay for it… You will hear " Why should we find a mission to save all human life? Let them pay their fair share too"
That changes the second it comes down to saving millions
Bruh millions of people died in the US alone from COVID and people were actively fighting measures to ease the bleeding on principle alone, and money was certainly not unlimited.
The people cheering on the rapture would absolutely prevent anything being done to redirect an extinction level asteroid if they thought they wouldn’t be affected (and they will think that). And plenty more people would question why they should pay to save otger people’s lives, just like they do with healthcare
