Are we now thinking that maybe placing atomic bomb on Mars? Or is it on another planet?

In order to melt the snow there?

Hugs!! If we suceed with that, then maybe we could push too from that planet an asteroid which would collide with Earth?

Hmmm, interesting...but who's going to risk the possibility that they are incorrect considering what's at stake?

Yep, like I said.  The logistics are still up in the air.  We have some of the technology, but nothing's been really tested, the funding's not there and not likely to be considering our current economic status.   

I'm in favor of spending some money now for more R&D on the developing the asteroid killer laser. Ultimately, mankind will need a permanent presence in space for a variety of reasons, planetary defense against Dinosaur killers is a great biproduct.

Soon, we will live on the moon. Plans are being made now.

Then, next is Mars or Saturn??

From one of those spots or two or three, we will have plans to stop an asteroid from coming too close to all four??

Hugs!!

The TV news just said that a meteor has just landed about 300 km south of Seattle in the USA!!

Someone took a clip of it too, and that was on TV news!!

Any more news of it?

Hugs!
