Reply to comment by KitchenDepartment in Deflecting asteroids is not enough — we need to know when they approach by burtzev
That’s assuming an impacter/kinetic probe is the only type; there’s also the Gravity Tractor, which offers more precision, but probably needs more lead time (the closer the asteroid is to earth, the more you have to deflect it.)

They also experimented with propane flame units, which of course had their own environmental issues.
But if we want chemical-free crops, this is the way.

Reply to comment by Nokneemouse in TIL that in 2005 burglars stole $71.6 million from a bank in Fortaleza, Brazil by setting up a fake landscaping company near the bank and digging a 256ft tunnel beneath two city blocks to the bank over 3 months. Neighbors noticed vanloads of soil removed daily but assumed it was business-related. by Lagavulin16_neat
