If it shoots towards us it will therfore move away from us

Missiles don’t have that amount of kickback unlike guns since their propulsion comes gradually and from themselves.

A bullet has roughly the kinetic energy of a punch
Surely a missile launch would be far higher due to the mass

Historical revisionism at work:
The astroid shot first.

The probability of an asteroid firing in very low, but never zero.
Comment105@lemm.ee 1 year ago
That’s not true. The probability of an asteroid firing is actually very high, but they’re very inaccurate.

The American military industrial complex is salivating right now
Semjaza@lemmynsfw.com 1 year ago
Why now?
The US military already has satellites than can drop artificial asteroids onto Earth, causing large localised, hard to detect and prevent damage.
Space has sadly already been weaponised.

Not officially, so one wonders how you got this info?
I mean, ICBMs are basically this, just unlaunched, but I doubt that’s your point.

If an asteroid fires a missile and it enters the atmosphere, is the rest of the asteroid considered a meteor?

But when 12.5 percent of the planets of the solar system commits 100% of the violence…

Holy fucking shit lmao what a reference

The (solar) system leaves them no other way of life! We need to make opportunities for them to orbit a stable planet and become moons.
