Asteroids are not the size of the sun, they are the size of mountains and yes, if detected early enough, a single nuke could deflect it. Some postulate more conventional means could deflect one.
Remember, a small correction applied early enough will have a bigger impact on the objects path than a large correction applied late.
I hope some of you made it out to the seminar Wednesday night…
Rood was on a roll but I apologize that the host of the location gobbled up so much time in the beginning to do his music gig. Michael really had to skip through some good stuff to fit it all in… As it was, we didn’t get out till 11:30 or so…
Now back to your normal programming…
