Asteroid strikes are very unlikely - so beating them is a really low standard, which IMO, machine intelligence projects do with ease. Funding the area sensibly would help make it happen - by most accounts. Detailed justification is beyond the scope of this comment, though.
Assuming that an asteroid strike prevention program costs no more than a few hundred million dollars, I don't think that it's easy to do better to assuage existential risk than funding an asteroid strike prevention program (though it may be possible). I intend to explain why I think it's so hard to lower existential risk through funding FAI research later on (not sure when, but within a few months).
I'd be interested in hearing your detailed justification. Maybe you can make a string top level posts at some point.
