Stop shooting sh!t at asteroids that are not heading for earth, please. You don't know upfront what's going to happen. What if the m0f0 splitted into two parts and one of the big parts was heading for earth now? Then what? Gonna play Armageddon, just as in the movies!?
There are more people on earth than only Americans, okay.
P.S. All jokes aside, all NASA people are probably very smart and sh!t, but please also think about all other people on earth. If you fvck up, you fvck up for everybody. Noblesse oblige. Space is pretty much unknown territory, be careful.
Yes, this is exactly why we are shooting shit at asteroids. So we do know what happens, so when that dark time comes and we need to shoot something at an asteroid to save a billion lives we know how to do it correctly.
