Hi,

I think you need to take into account that the Earth is a very tiny target at
our distance from the sun. Perhaps you should calculate roughly how much of
that CME actually impacts us per unit of surface

It just seems to me that
1 CME avg per day x 1.2 Billion Tons/CME x 4.5 Billion Years old x 365
days/year = LOTS OF ordinary STUFF floating around the solar system. Of

Hi,
Wouldn't blowing up an asteroid merely create a lot of smaller pieces raining
down on earth, with only a few deflected into non-collision paths.
If the pieces are small enough, they will burn up in the atmosphere
the same as that
in one.

I have read that it would be difficult to stop rocks with nuclear bombs. It
is not practical to fly the bomb at the thing and detonate it the moment
they are close, with a proximity fuse. Large, heavy objects often survived
above ground nuclear explosions intact.
I think no matter what technique

Maybe a better solution would be a space tug, which would go out, hook up the
asteroid and begin tugging it out of the collision trajectory.
