It'd be better to send a rocket out to an approaching asteroid, depending on its size, and detonate a very powerful nuke just in front of its path. It could then shove it off course or bring it to a screeching halt, maybe send it back where it came from.

I agree, but the statement was to blow up on the surface of the asteroid. But yeah I'm a fan of splash damage(Q3), hehe.

I agree, I am tired of NASA getting shit. All that money wasted on the war should have went to NASA. I mean at the rate of Global Warming and all these threats from space and stupid wars, we should already be colonizing other planets.
