Asteroid Apophis Is Coming Back And NASA Has a Risky Plan...

'Planet-Killer' Asteroids to Be Targeted With Nukes Fired Into Space Under NASA Plan..

NASA said 2023 DW had a “1 in 560 odds'' of hitting the Earth in 2046, giving us a pretty good chance the rock will miss the Earth entirely.

BBC 14 NOV 2023

NASA aerospace engineer Brent Barbee has revealed how a destructive asteroid on a collision course with the Earth could be hit with nuclear warheads in space to save mankind...

Huge asteroids that hurtle towards Earth could be destroyed with nuclear warheads during their journey, scientists say.

Researchers have drawn up plans on how to deal with the potentially world-ending scenario that they insist needs to be taken ‘very seriously’. One contingency is to hit the impending rock with a nuclear missile in order to knock it off its course and avoid it hammering into mankind.

Although the scene seems like something from a science fiction film, NASA aerospace engineer Brent Barbee has insisted it is the best chance against an asteroid that threatens the extinction of the human race. An asteroid measuring 1.5km could only be stopped by something that matched its huge kinetic impact, meaning a nuclear weapon might be one of the only things powerful enough to stop the hurtling rock.

Professor Barbee told LiveScience: "The kinetic impactor is a spacecraft that basically just rams into the asteroid at high speed and transfers its momentum to the asteroid, much like playing billiards. A single appropriately sized nuclear explosive device was, in our analysis, found to be capable of deflecting even the 1.5 kilometer size asteroid. But then the ejected material that comes off the asteroid from the impact point can provide additional momentum change for the asteroid and push it a little bit harder."

The scientist explained how the process would practically work, with a spacecraft carrying the nuclear bomb needing to find the perfect angle of approach and get within a few hundred feet of its target. He said the likely procedure would see the nuke transported from a standard spacecraft vehicle to a small spacecraft that would carry the explosion closer to the hurtling asteroid.

Data from the European Space Agency has shown that asteroids big enough to destroy a city could appear with little warning because when the big rock is in the sun’s glare it can move without detection. Officials say dozens of the ‘planet-killers’ could be present in the solar system.

MORE;

Somewhere out there in the solar system, orbiting the Sun every 271 days, is an asteroid called 2023 DW that was recently spotted when it came within just 9 million kilometers [5.6 million miles] of Earth. It is a 50 meter [165 feet] diameter rock. About the same size of rock that caused the Tunguska Event.

What would happen if something changed its orbit, and it was suddenly on a collision course with Earth?

What level of devastation would result from such an asteroid impact if it happened over a city, and not in the frozen wasteland of Siberia. Could we deflect or push this asteroid away from Earth before it hits us?
