we have Bruce Willis for that :)
Wouldn’t it be easier to shoot them while they are still meteors?
What good does it do to shoot them once they have landed?
suuure, Russia.
Or high orbit satellites.
Riiiiigghtt....in other news, ISIS is given 1.6 billon dollars to combat global warming.
Oh, good. So rather than have one block-sized chunk of rock rain down, we’ll have eight 1/8th block chunks of possibly radioactive rock rain down.
silly Russians, everyone know that would like having a firecracker on you open palm.
you have to drill.
“A meteoroid is a small rocky or metallic body travelling through space. Meteoroids are significantly smaller than asteroids, and range in size from small grains to 1 meter-wide objects. Objects smaller than this are classified as micrometeoroids or space dust.[1][2][3][4] Most are fragments from comets or asteroids, whereas others are collision impact debris ejected from bodies such as the Moon or Mars.[5][6][7][8]”

_______________________________
Asteroids vary greatly in size, from almost 1000 km for the largest down to rocks just tens of metres across.[note 3] The three largest are very much like miniature planets: they are roughly spherical, have at least partly differentiated interiors,[33] and are thought to be surviving protoplanets. The vast majority, however, are much smaller and are irregularly shaped; they are thought to be either surviving planetesimals or fragments of larger bodies.

Oh, horse crap! A willfully ignorant writer!
Won’t do much good to shoot a meteorite.
