Synopsis

With asteroids and comets increasingly making headlines, the threat of an Earth impact is becoming a recognized concern. This book explores a hypothetical scenario: what if humanity had ten years to prevent a kilometer-wide asteroid from colliding with Earth? The author and his colleagues detail a plan using existing and developing technologies, outlining unmanned and manned missions, and strategies to mitigate disaster if an impact is unavoidable. This work offers a hopeful look at humanity's potential to develop space capabilities and protect civilization from cosmic threats.
