Hmm.. so .. looks like it might work if the asteroid is less than 500 meters in diameter and we have at least 2 years warning. Or, 5+ years warning for larger asteroids. Am I reading that right? How easy would it be to spot an asteroid of, say, 600 meters five years out? Personally, I think the whole thing is doomed without Bruce Willis...
