I almost got hit by a bus the other day, it came within a quarter mile of me when I was in the cross walk.

I should write a headline about that!

3.2 million miles! Damn that is close!

My car could do that in like only 5.2 years going 70 mph non stop, 24 hours per day without any service stops. I’m gonna need some sweet motor oil...

I have been hearing that the US Army is either developing or has developed a multi kilowatt laser. I am now wondering what the effect of such a laser would be on an asteroid.

Could it be used to create out gassing to change the trajectory?

Could it be used to cut up a NEO asteroid after it passes by and perhaps make the smaller pieces more susceptible to solar winds or the sun’s gravity?

Perhaps even accelerate rotational velocity until destruction from centripetal forces?

Could be an interesting job for the space force.

“...It will come within 3.2 million miles of Earth,...”

BFD, let me know when objects are projected to either impact or pass by at less than 250,000 mi.
