yeah there are lots of asteroids out there...we should really have a multi point defense system in place. Something like a rocket(s) that matches speed and releases a swarm of spider like modules with self attaching feet, to pepper the surface of an asteroid. Each module should have a blaster or method of propulsion on a surface which can be adjusted within its own radius. So if it gets installed upside down, it just rotates until the engine is pointing into space. When all engines are firing, they are controlled in a fashion to allow them to alter the trajectory of said asteroid.
Since the earth is moving away just as fast, it wont take much movement to throw the asteroid out of a collision vector.
You are welcome, please feel free to pass this onto spaceX or Nasa
