Earth being hit by meteorites and asteroids?

Russia has found, to its cost, that it has no answers. But
U.S. and European experts may be able to help with a few ideas
that at first glance seem straight out of science fiction,
including smashing spacecraft into asteroids, using the sun’s
rays to vaporise them, or blasting them with nuclear bombs.

AUCKLAND, Jan 23 (Reuters) – The founder of
file-sharing website Megaupload was ordered to be held in
custody by a New Zealand court on Monday, as he denied charges
of internet piracy and money laundering and said authorities
were trying to portray the blackest picture of him.

Prosecutor Anne Toohey argued at a bail hearing that Kim
Dotcom, a German national also known as Kim Schmitz, was a
flight risk “at the extreme end of the scale” because it was
believed he had access to funds, had multiple identities and had
a history of fleeing criminal charges.
