Apophis: Independent Analysis of Alternatives To Divert a NEO on a Likely Collision Course With Earth
The above asteroid related article takes into account nuclear weapons, along with gravity tractor and impactor options. THIS is the material that I mentioned a couple of days ago in relation to the kooky conspiracy fellow that wants nukes simply banned I suppose.
Instead of examining the facts, that guy (see this for a re-read) who was commenting about a NYT article was saying that this was a government plot to advance the use of nukes in space, continue research on nukes, and even made mention that colorization of space was some kind of capitalist plot or something.
Some people just can’t actually READ the material before them without completely misinterpreting what they read, or making crap up. Read the above article to see what was actually considered and why it should be considered.
