well the show last night says there are two options that are being developed.

one is a asteroid tug boat, that clamps onto the asteroid/comet and moves it slightly off course

the other is a light reflector, that acts like a big magnifying glass and burns up the asteroid like a magnifying glass on an ant colony, as well as the energy exerted would push the asteroid slightly off course.

seriously, i feel less safe with these two ideas then i would with none
