Purely by chance, on 9 July 1962 I witnessed the Starfish Prime nuclear space explosion as a nine-year-old from Aotearoa New Zealand way ‘down-under’ in the Southern Hemisphere. It was one of the most awe-inspiring events of my life.
The approach talked about here was brought up at the Planetary Defense Conference held in Vail, CO in 2006. I’m sure it was floating around before that. It’s nice to see public experimental evidence that the approach could work.
3:09 "Another team proposed sending a swarm of flying squirrels to overwhelm the asteroid."
Anton: treaty forbids use of nukes in space. Everybody: hahahahhahhaha, LOL, treaty....
"Simulation of asteroid deflection with a megajoule-class X-ray pulse" well, that's a really cool study title =P
They did some very crazy nuclear testing back in the day.
Somewhere, Micheal Bay just jumped up out of bed and exclaimed "I smell sequel money!"
So the dinosaur died due to a skill issue
If we launched several nukes, with a batch that hit it directly at the same time and another batch that detonate between us and the object just after you could program a strike where the secondary nuclear explosions serve to deflect the pieces after the initial strike breaks the object up.
Your chances of being killed by a giant rock ducky bath toy from space are low...but never zero.
