RE: Effect of Potentially Hazardous Asteroids on Earth
The possibility of the planet Earth being hit by a medium to large object has always been studied, however what is really important is that the human race can develop the necessary technology to be able to defend itself from a potential threat that a collision of our planet may have with an asteroid, meteor or any large mass object.
Thank you for sharing your reflections based on an eventual possibility of a catastrophe that could change the course of existence of our planet and everything that inhabits it.
NASA have been trying to cook up potential defence mechanisms for earth should in case we are being invaded by rocks that can be very disastrous. Nuclear bombs are one of them but we know that gravity in space could change the direction of the nuclear rocket bomb also the rocks could change direction allowing the rocket to miss it.
We hope a defense mechanism is available soonest.
