They have physicist's working on solutions right now. A mission like this could take five years. A spacecraft could use ion propulsion,and cause a gravity tug to keep the asteroid from the Earths orbit,and then beyond using different phases of technology to stop the threat of a asteroid,or comet from hitting Earth. There are a variety of theories that they are working on,and Princeton University is keeping up with it. BF
