      Asteroids w increasingly NEO trajectories are only discovered too JIT for comfort. Aversion capability still nil, preparedness still minimal

      Let's assume that the next space rock discovered 5 days prior to NEO traversal presents a non-negligible chance of impact. What then?

          @asteris and this is why both ESA & NASA are working on mission concepts for early detection and de-orbit http://www.esa.int/Our_Activities/Technology/NEO/ESA_presents_NEO_mission_studies_at_UN_COPUOS …

          @asteris . JPL has developed some really cool concepts, it is all a matter of political will (and funding) http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/asteroids/initiative/index.html#.UxZ7C_m1ZcQ …
