Hi What is the best way to destroy near earth object (NEO) on collision course with Earth? * Nuclear missiles * Powerful rockets * Giant lens / evaporator At the moment there is no international organization to detect of small NEO, similar to the one that explode over Tunguska and Amazon...

Hello all newbie question.Is Vesta classed as a near earth object?

On "National Geographic Channel", there is a show about "Doomsday Rock" from outer space. What is the best way to avoid the collision / destroy this doomsday rock? Nuclear missiles, rocket engines, giant lens and evaporation, or other way?
