Since this is the ESA, we can say, with confidence, that they will manage to change the asteroid’s trajectory... to ensure that it hits the Earth in 2035.

Actually, it would be very useful to the European politicians, and deficit spenders in the US, if the World ended in 2035. That way there is no need to come up with plans to pay off sovereign debt! Just roll it over until the End of the World!

One potential target is a 1600ft-wide asteroid called 99942 Apophis, Have they taken the naquadah core into account?

Here’s what will happen.
They will find out that inded you can change the path of an asteroid.
We will go from a “one in 250,000” chance of collision to a “one in 3” chance of collision.

Then they could launch a follow-up mission to place guidance packages on the smaller pieces, so they only hit European cities......idiots.....
They can’t “alter course”...!!

Good thing the ESA is conducting these experiments since NASA is occupied with muzzie outreach.

...a 1600ft-wide asteroid... This doesn't say much for the size. Length and width? Diameter?

“The real version, if it goes ahead in 2015, will see a satellite fired at break-neck speed into a ‘test’ asteroid to see if its course changes.”
What could *possibly* go wrong? ping.

If this fails to dissuade the asteroid from ending life as we know it, the EU will propose trying diplomacy and if that fails, sanctions
