A week-long exercise held by Nasa this week has concluded that a catastrophic event with an asteroid would be unavoidable, even given six months to prepare.
The hypothetical impact scenario, which took place during a planetary defense conference hosted by the United Nations, confirmed that there is no current technology on earth that could stop an Asteroid if we knew in advance it was projected to hit the earth.
"If confronted with the scenario in real life, we would not be able to launch any spacecraft on such short notice with current capabilities," the participants said.
The only response to such an event would be to evacuate the area before the asteroid hit, however the impact zone of many typical asteroids would be so large that would be almost impossible…

With Critical Race Theory we will destroy ourselves before an asteroid hits us.
Google -Richard Firestone Younger Dryas Event-. Do it.
Very true. Antifa, bLM, jihadist, and communists are a bigger threat than any space rock.
What about ICBMs?
Even if we could hit it with a nuclear weapon and fracture it, the remaining pieces would still impact the earth.
There is no earthly force capable of redirecting its path.
All we need to do is send some rough necks to drill and bury a nuke. It worked twice in one year in the late 1990s.

My third book (which has been on hiatus for the last four years) has the Younger Dryas as the back drop. Anything Randall Carlson is a good adjunct too!
ICBMs are suborbital only.
And animated asteroid impacts are always better with a Pink Floyd soundtrack.

Yeah, but if it lands on a majority white country, at least it wouldn’t be a racist asteroid!
I find it hard to try and feel bad about wiping out a significant number of Democrats.
The comet is split into two or more parts. One hits the ocean and the other fragments impact in other locations or explodes in the atmosphere like the 1908 Siberian event and spews toxic debris over the earth which contaminates water supplies.
Nope, ICBMs dont even get orbital.
The problem is very hard.
First you have to identify the threat with enough time to react. Our current space surveillance can track something it identifies, but we are ‘surprised’ all the time by new uncatalogued objects.
Second, it takes months if not years to prep a mission and navigate to intercept. It took years of planning and months of flight time to get OSIRIS-REx sample return mission to Bennu.
Then you have to map the object and figure out where and how to plant the hypothetical ‘bomb’. It took many more months of mapping to determine the shape of Bennu and hypothetically find a place to plant a bomb that would have the necessary effect.
The object is most probably tumbling or gyrating to some degree so the perfect place when you plant the bomb may be useless when you detonate the bomb.
I have explained this often, The good news is that all this is mostly unnecessary, as most objects, though not all, orbit the same direction as the Earth rotates, so the relative velocities are not as great. Secondly, the atmosphere protects us by slowing any entering objects with drag, and breaking/burning up much of the stuff we encounter.
The one that might get us probably has to come from outside the solar system and has a retro or highly inclined orbit with respect to the Earths orbit. Those are going to be the hardest to spot in time, but also least likely to impact (big sky, little bullet theory).
So when that one does come, well, if it happens in our lifetimes, just be ready to meet the Maker.
Ya, but we have no such capability, now or in the next 10 years.
Good info! What are your thoughts on the Tunguska event?
