Turning a few small rocks into a bunch of little bitty rocks. ;)

Didn't they used to call that "imprisoned at hard labor"?
Large rock is following a trajectory defined by gravity.
Bomb smashes rock to iddy bitty pieces.
Pieces continue to follow former trajectory as a spreading "cloud" of rubble.
Earth get hit by a "shotgun" blast.
Better idea to change trajectory and steer rock away from Earth orbital path.
