NASA is working extensively on tracking stuff that comes close to earth and nudging it off course if it wants to come TOO close.

"Here's what planet earth would look like if asteroid ABC123 hit it!" -meanwhile asteroid ABC123's orbit doesn't come anywhere near earth's orbit. TV people love doing this.
