So, Acme Asteroid Movers gets the contract, and changes the asteroid from hitting Cleveland into hitting New York.

A lawyer's dream.

just use all the hot air coming from the dems. That will deflect any asteroid or alien invasion.

"It's clear from geological records that the Earth has been impacted in the past by large objects"

Maybe some Ex-lax would help.

First we need to find them and track them. I always get a kick of the stories that talk about the "close call" from an object that was observed AFTER it passed by the earth.

Why am I reminded of the joke about "What do the starship Enterprise and toilet paper have in common?"

Esa's Don Quijote mission will consist of two spacecraft: Hidalgo and Sancho. The former craft will smash into an asteroid named Apophis, which is expected to make its closest pass by the Earth in 2029, when it will be only 32,000km away.

I hope these Euroweenies know what they're doing. If they mistakenly nudge the asteroid into Earth's orbit.......I hope it lands on Paris or Berlin.

British scientists are set to go where only Bruce Willis has gone before: chasing after asteroids on a collision course with Earth.

It was a comet. It was a stupid movie, too. They put a mountain near VA Beach so this kid and one girl could motorcycle up it and survive. I mean, one minute they're on the peninsula, but when the wave hits 20 minutes later they're somewhere in the Great Smokies. Huh?

Thank God the Brits are wasting money on this so we won't have to.

In a three-year £300,000 study

Money well spent, as long as no Louisiana politicians are involved.
