      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.

  Which would also stop the asteroid hitting us as it’d move itself off track

    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

  The probability of an asteroid firing in very low, but never zero.

  • Comment105@lemm.ee ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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 ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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?
