Asteroid redirection capiblities may be in the hands of       global superpowers in the next couple decades, even withen a couple of years       given plenty of funding. And with enough Delta-V, we could direct a       large-enough asteroid into say...        Eastern US, Far East, Western Russia, or Western Europe. While kill-sat       weapons may do the job for satalites, asteroids arn't as small or fragile as       satalites.        >              Nor are they as manoeuverable nor precise.       Also, what prevents these countries from detecting the threat and sending out       their own propulsion systems to sufficiently deflect their path?       Yes, future warfare will probably incorporate such means, but they would not       be as irresistable as you appear to suggest.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
