Despite its potential, many are also genuinely concerned about the dangers of near-Earth asteroids, as their impacts can be devastating and humanity currently does not have adequate means to defend against them.
One method for possibly stopping an asteroid impact is through the use of deflection, which means launching something to slightly change its path.
In layman's terms, that means punching an asteroid with a rocket with enough speed to change its course by a fraction of a second. (antara/mcr20/jpnn)
