What can we do about large meteors?

About 500 times a year, researchers identify asteroids of at least 140m in diameter near Earth's orbit.

 

 

United States Meteorite Impact Craters - Barringer CRATER, Arizona

The Barringer Crater is a 1.2 kilometer simple, bowl shaped crater formed about 50,000 years ago by an iron impactor about 30 meters across.

The crater is extremely well preserved, and is open to the public for viewing.

An interpretive center is located at the crater rim, and camping and RV facilities are available.

I can think of several ways to gradually alter their orbits so they don’t hit us. Implementing those methods is neither easy nor quick. If there really are any seriously threatening objects out there, the sooner we find out, the sooner we can start building a solution.

Or we could wallow in ignorance until it’s too late.

Choose wisely.
