Discussion

What would you do if you heard that an asteroid was near Earth?

Right at the moment, there’s not a thing we can do. If an asteroid was discovered to be on a collision course - we better hope it’s time to impact is many years in the future, to give us time to build something to intercept it. Ideally… we’d have a “practiced” system in place, and 30 to 50 years warning. A slight change of a few inches per second spread over 30 years means the rock will “miss” the rendezvous with Earth - but, the key is, we’d have to have the warning time to begin working on its deflection. And - if we got “really” good - we’d send it into the sun, and be rid of the threat forever.
