Russians Going To Blow Up Asteroid?
Okay the asteroid, Apophis, supposedly has only a 1-in-45,000 chance of hitting Earth. But that's too close for comfort for the Russians so they're planning a mission to steer it away from us. The US is not sure this is a good idea. All the Russians promise is that it 'won't involve nuclear explosions' and that they 'will obey the laws of physics'.

I'm in favor of blasting it since it's good practice for when we really need to blow up an asteroid and I just love exploding things. I just hope they have NASA check their calculations.
