Yes, Physicist says that we probably can't deflect it, but I wonder if anyone's entertained the possibility of destroying it outright. I figure that you're on the right track with Nadler, but we need a bigger bang. Therefore, if we shoot both Nadler and Ted Kennedy out of giant space cannons at the asteroid, aimed in such a way as to strike opposite sides of it, the asteroid will surely be crushed between them.
