I just watched a pretty interesting show on TV. It was called Apocalypse How? It dealt with all the ways Earth can be destroyed.
One of which was a classic Asteroid hit. The Scientist stated the first way to stop an asteroid from hitting us is by changing the direction of the asteroid. He said they would first us something to impact the asteroid. Then they would monitor it for changes in direction. If that didn’t work then they would position huge satellites next to it. I guess mass attracts mass. This would alter the comets path supposedly.
That made me think of the “impactor” that collided with the comet Temple 1.
I see no reason to spend millions of dollars just for a collision. I’ve yet to read the reason why we did that. So I’m left to conclude it was to study the effects of changing the path of a comet. And if so, then why not just say that? Unless the real reason is to scary for the world.
Are they hiding the something from us?
