This rock is 320 (m)eters in diameter, right, not (m)iles? Wouldn't it be just as easy (technically) to vaporize it completely than deflect it with certainty? --- Canopus56 <canopus56@yahoo.com> wrote:
An interesting article on a proposal to have NASA place a radio tracking beacon on an asteriod that is 320m in diameter with a high probability of striking the Earth in 2029. The purpose of the beacon would be better establish the asteriod's orbital parameters in order to decide if it should be deflected.
