I wonder.
Should we destroy meteors of this approximate size?
That would, arguably, make us responsible for the damage caused by it’s remnants. But would we have the defence of showing what would have happened if we didn’t act?
Fascinating...,
Small remnants would likely burn up in the atmosphere.
“Should we destroy meteors of this approximate size?”
We’ve been able to kill hurricanes for decades, and haven’t because of the legal implications.
