Related question. The Chelyabinsk bolide supposedly exploded with the force of a 200 kiloton nuke. Why did this explosion not have the same effect as an airburst EMP nuke?

We need a moon base with lasers.

For about $1 billion we could build an infrared space telescope to find all of the asteroids that threaten Earth, and we could then fly a mission to demonstrate our capacity to deflect one. NASA, in fact, could fund such efforts with about one percent of its annual budget over the next five years. The price of planetary insurance, it turns out, isn’t all that high.

You serious, Clark? Just think about it for a bit. I'll hang up and listen.

I'm extremely ignorant, but how do you realistically counter them?

WHEW
what a close one guys

Read through the link I posted on page one, it goes over deflection methods.

It broke some windows due to the angle it hit the atmosphere causing it to explode really high up. If it came in at a different angle it could have been much worse.

No radiation, no thermal pulse...just a big conventional bomb, basically.

What makes you think that you know that?

Read article posted on first page. Detection system would be much less than $150 billion. Early detection shrinks the cost of deflection.
