"Let's say it hit anywhere in Europe, the whole of Europe would be well, in deep trouble.”

As if that would be news.

Stromlo Observatory astronomer Vince Ford

Right. Ask an astronomer about nuclear weapons. As if. Want to move dirt? Hire a civil engineer.

Wasn't this already made into a movie.....Twice? And the greatest tragedy was that Ben Affleck got to live.

It'll never happen. The green misanthropes would love nothing more than to have a large rock smack the Earth and reduce to human species to "manageable levels" if not outright eradicating it. And, these environazis have enough clout with the world's governments to put the kabosh on any plans to put nuclear weapons in space.

Here is my evil megalomaniac plan:

If the asteroid is going to hit, we sabotage any other nation's plans to destroy/deflect it- leaving ourselves as the only nation capable of doing so. Then we blackmail the rest of the world into accepting our terms or we allow the asteroid to hit.

[Publius6961]

Why am I grinning?

Because suppose... just suppose we find out exactly where it will hit and decide that the best thing to do is...

Nothing.

Cosmic Justice...
Hubris...
Divine intervention...

Whatever.
