nice pictures, thanks for sharing them! I wonder if it really helps to develop some protection against asteroids.
Hope our television would show some good report abou happening.

I just hope there are no aliens stationed on that asteroid  Shocked

They may not like the idea of this inter-galactic ballistic missile impacting on them. At least we have now confirmed that we can deliver a payload accuractly over interstellar distances.  Wink Useful if any asteroid is on a collision course to earth!

Wouldn't it be like throwing a football at a train. It wouldn't make the slightest bit if difference to the trains direction.

I have a question that I would love to ask Nasa. "How is thing going to do to the course of the comet?"

This could cause catastrophic damages to a planet along the path of the comet. We go and do stupid things in the name of science and seldom think about how this could effect the things around us. In this case, it could change the orbit of this comet and cause it to end up in the path of a planet, astoroid, moon or even a star.

If the copper was replaced with a nuclear device then I'm sure it would make a difference to the trajectory. The weapons capability now is 1000's of times more powerful than at Hiroshima.

I'm more worried about the extra-terrestrials who may take a dim view of our tests on this asteroid.  Grin

I just think it is selfish of us to do something like this and not know the impact is has on the univers. Who knows, ET might come visit up and gives us an ear full or a worse.
