- Laser Sublimation, or Mirror Satellites would help save the human race.
-These satellites would be sent into space after the detection satellites have detected the trajectory of the asteroid(If on a collision course with Earth).
-Would focus the suns rays on a certain spot of the asteroid.
-The heat would melt the surrounding area of rock, creating an ejector
-This ejector would create thrust, and this thrust would move the asteroid out of the way.
- This idea could not only could change the couse of the asteroid, but also blow it to smitherienes.]]> 2016-11-27 22:25:54 UTC https://padlet.com/dylan_brandt477/StopTheAsteroid/wish/140056891 dylan_brandt477 https://padlet.com/dylan_brandt477/StopTheAsteroid/wish/140056922 - Satellites could be placed  in Earth orbit that would allow us to track NEOs.
-Would be pointed away from the sun to see any incoming asteroids(light's glare can block certain asteroids, making them invisible).
-Would compute the light curve(rotational period) to calculate the mass, size, and trajectory.
- The satellites would send computed data back to Earth to see whether or not it is on a collision course, and if so, to put nessecary measures in place to make sure it doesn't impact.
-Infrared cameras would also be in place to detect any "hidden" asteroids(Some asteroids can give off thermal radiation).

Everest(About 6 miles in height) slammed into the Earth going 40,000 miles per hour. In 1991, a crater was discovered near the Gulf of Mexico that is 110 miles in diameter(Chicxulub Crater). The meteor that hit here is believed to be the one that wiped out the dinosaurs.]]> 2016-11-27 22:31:33 UTC https://padlet.com/dylan_brandt477/StopTheAsteroid/wish/140057249 dylan_brandt477 https://padlet.com/dylan_brandt477/StopTheAsteroid/wish/140059426 A small rocky body orbiting the sun. Large numbers of these, ranging in size from nearly 600 miles (1,000 km) across (Ceres) to dust particles, are found (as the asteroid belt ) especially between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, though some have more eccentric orbits, and a few pass close to the earth or enter the atmosphere as meteors.]]> 2016-11-27 23:04:03 UTC https://padlet.com/dylan_brandt477/StopTheAsteroid/wish/140059426 dylan_brandt477 https://padlet.com/dylan_brandt477/StopTheAsteroid/wish/140059701 Google.com

Some of these asteroids could be able to impact Earth.]]> 2016-11-27 23:09:16 UTC https://padlet.com/dylan_brandt477/StopTheAsteroid/wish/140059847 dylan_brandt477 https://padlet.com/dylan_brandt477/StopTheAsteroid/wish/140060130 2016-11-27 23:13:19 UTC https://padlet.com/dylan_brandt477/StopTheAsteroid/wish/140060130 dylan_brandt477 https://padlet.com/dylan_brandt477/StopTheAsteroid/wish/140062620 1. The asteroid would approach Earth, due to a collision or some other event.(possibly due to Earths gravity)
2. As it gets closer, friction from the Earth's atmosphere would cause the asteroid to heat up.
3. If the Asteroid survives the extreme heat, it will come barreling through the lower layers of the atmosphere, going very fast.
4. The asteroid would hit the surface with the power of multiple Nuclear Bombs, sending dust into the air and obliterating anything in the blast radius.
4 Con't. If the Asteroid were to impact over water, large tidal waves would spread around the Earth, larger than any tsunami ever known to man.
5. The force from the impact would create a crater, and the debris would slowly spread around the atmosphere, lowering solar efficiency, or blocking the sun out entirely, resulting in a nuclear winter. Some other effects would be acid rain, climate, and an increase in tectonic activity.]]> 2016-11-27 23:51:43 UTC https://padlet.com/dylan_brandt477/StopTheAsteroid/wish/140062620 dylan_brandt477 https://padlet.com/dylan_brandt477/StopTheAsteroid/wish/140063772 Nuclear winter (also known as atomic winter) is a Theoretical global climatic effect most often considered a potential threat following a counter value (or city-targeted) nuclear war as a result of city bombardment, natural wildfire firestorms, and asteroid strikes.]]> 2016-11-28 00:11:41 UTC https://padlet.com/dylan_brandt477/StopTheAsteroid/wish/140063772 dylan_brandt477 https://padlet.com/dylan_brandt477/StopTheAsteroid/wish/140067015 There is no current threat to an asteroid strike right now, but there is no saying when an asteroid could become a threat.
