NASA will do THIS if an asteroid was about to hit Earth - HT Tech

Every day we see reports of some massive asteroid or the other approaching Earth and then flying by the planet.

But have you ever wondered about what will happen if asteroid hits Earth.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has recently released a video discussing what will really happen if an asteroid hits Earth.

If an asteroid impact threat is discovered years or decades in advance, then a mission to deflect teh asteroid away from hitting Earth may be possible.

There are a few methods that NASA is studying to deflect an asteroid on a course to impact Earth.

Nuclear explosive device methods are considered the last resort when it comes to near Earth orbit (NEO) asteroid deflection.
