  • Can We Prevent an Asteroid From Hitting Earth?
    Subscribe to Science Time: / sciencetime24
    Space is vast and filled with cosmic debris. Some of the remnants left over from the early formation of our solar system about 4.6 billion years ago are rocky formation known as asteroids. Brian Cox, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Bill Nye and others share their opinions about asteroids and what we can do to prevent one from colliding with Earth.
    Nasa's DART mission will be the first demonstration of the kinetic impactor technique to change the motion of an asteroid in space. But what would happen if an Asteroid were to be heading towards the Earth? What would we do about it? How would we detect it? But most importantly, would we be able to stop it?

      10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be [d]burned up. 11 Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, 12 looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat? 13 Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.

    String of satellites orbiting each celestial body in our system that communicates in a chain back to earth. Satellites scan for outer space objects and notes their trajectory and speed. That is how we could see what's coming before it gets within the point of no return. Where it goes beyond the time frame of our response time.

Because now instead of just 1 big asteroid coming our way it could be a dozen smaller pieces (but still dangerous pieces) from that asteroid is now coming our way still because of that nuke that was launched towards that 1 big asteroid, so in conclusion just nuking that asteroid even though it sounds cool I don't believe it's a good idea at all.
