4/n Destruction: nuke your NEO to destroy it, don’t want big chunks still around. Deflection: detonate nuke(s) some distance from the NEO to nudge it off course. Impulse depends on deposition of neutron & x-ray energy with resultant kinetic force and ablation and reaction.pic.twitter.com/fUfQ7mj8pn
