Nukes and bombs would have very little effect on giant astroids. The best chance we have is to send a satellite into space, land on the astroid, and then slightly deviate its course before it reaches the point of no return.

We are overdue for a large scale astroid hit on Earth. So it would not surprise me, that we are looking at increased risk.

But, I would not worry too much. If it is meant to be that everyone on Earth dies at the same time, then so be it. At least, I will get to witness the end, something that does not happen very often. I do think human may survive, if the select few takes precautions, and live underground for at least 10 to 15 years - 2 yrs min for the dust to settle, and another 8 years for regeneration of plant life. But 99.999 of the global human population would die.

Or we could send up a couple of ships, and land a crew of drillers on it. Then drill a hole into the centre and drop a nuke down into it, and blow it in half...

Wow, that'd be a good plot for a movie..

Armageddon (from Ancient Greek: Ἁρμαγεδών Harmagedōn,[1][2] Late Latin: Armagedōn[3]) will be, according to the Book of Revelation, the site of gathering of armies for a battle during the end times, variously interpreted as either a literal or symbolic location. The term is also used in a generic sense to refer to any end of the world scenario.

Yeah pull the other leg god bothers ... it plays jingle bells.

Meteorite strike blasts crater in Nicaraguan capital Managua

Nicaraguan government officials say a mysterious explosion that rocked the nation's capital appears to have been caused by a meteorite.

The impact near Managua's international airport left a crater measuring 12 metres across and was so large it registered on seismic instruments used to measure earthquakes.

"We are convinced that this was a meteorite. We have seen the crater from the impact," said Wilfredo Strauss of the Seismic Institute.

"You can see two waves: first, a small seismic wave when the meteorite hit Earth, and then another stronger one, which is the impact of the sound."

Government officials and experts visited the impact site on Sunday (local time), but said it was not yet clear if the meteorite had burned up completely or if it had been blasted deep into the soil.
