I meant sunlight will push it the way it pushes a Crooks radiometer, although there is some question whether that works in a high vacuum. You might also attach a gigantic solar sail, which is the same thing I guess, but I think that would call a lot more engineering and monitoring after deployment. There are also scheme to land a rocket which then excavates rocks and shoots them off, perhaps with a mass driver. That does not sound like it would work for long. Search for "meteor deflection" to see various proposed methods. - Jed
