Asteroid to miss Mars, may hit Earth
Asteroid to miss Mars, may hit Earth
WASHINGTON: An asteroid that has a one in 20 chance of striking Mars on January 30, might just fly past, which would probably make it target Earth at some point in future.
Designated 2007 WD5, the 160-foot wide asteroid was originally identified as a possible risk to Earth, though later analysis showed that it actually might be on a collision course with Mars.Vinsar.Net - Quality Web Hosting at Economical Price on USA & European Servers

Thats going to be cool.
I am sure the scientists would have set a plan of destroying it before it hits out earth. If they fail, yes there is one man to protect you all. None other - the SuperMan Biju

if.....it was to head directly on a collision course with the earth, then no doubt the atmosphere would burn it up into relatively insignificant small chunks of rock. Having said that though, I don't fancy getting hit on the head with a rock flying at 500mps+.

If it misses Mars and there's a 1 in 20 chance of it hitting us cannot we just send a nuke at it? Easy and removes the risk.

nukeing it may not be the answer. Why not send a group of people to the it and let them set a bomb in its core. though they probably won't be coming back alive.

The problem with hitting it with a warhead would be it could break up and create more potential targets for hitting earth. The goal of sending a nuke would be to redirect the asteroid so it misses the earth.

This is an asteroid we need to be worried about. It definitely won't hit for a while but if it did hit it could certainly destroy the earth easily.

Just to compare, this is what 80 ft. asteroid did, now this upcoming one is supposedly twice its size.

Flee to the datacentres - they're pretty solid buildings.
