"We previously showed that a smallish asteroid or comet can be broken up and rendered harmless using kinetic projectiles. Here we show that a larger (~10 km) comet can also be handled if we add nukes to the projectiles. Probably. It really depends on how well the energy from the nuclear explosions is transferred to the comet." |
