said by AndyDufresne:Time to put Bruce Willis and his team on stand-by. Actually, the depressing reality is that we're probably 30-50 years away from having the tech to do anything like they showed in that movie, and that's only if we started working on it today. Which of course, nobody is.
And even once the tech exists, NASA would need at least a year of advance warning to plan the mission, which would probably only have a five-day launch window, and then only if the weather cooperates. |

| Was reading an article earlier today and the simple answer would be to evacuate... the only thing we could do is figure out where it would impact... and nothing more... if we had decades we would have more luck landing on the thing and painting it a light color to change its trajectory then blowing it up |

| I saw something similar on the news. Former astronaut/scientist said they need to know at least 2 yrs out of the impending impact in order to be able to deflect them. They didn't even see this one coming.

They didn't even see this one coming. In the late 70s, NASA was going to try and use a booster unit to keep Skylab in orbit. The shuttle wasn't ready in time and they decided that available rockets weren't suitable, for some reason. The result is that Skylab ended up crashing to Earth and breaking up in the atmosphere. |

Such technology would NEVER be given to NASA. The DOD would secretly own and operate it. For all we know, it might already exist. We will never know until they use it. |

You have way too much confidence in the US government. |
