Science speculation! Asteroid is going to hit Earth.

This one is.  There is nothing that says it can't be coming straight for us.

Then it isn't going to be spotted ten years out, and even if it was it'd be too hard to model an impact, so your question is irrelevant.

Funny thing about space, it takes a long time to get from one place to another.  If that small group of asteroids are going to take 10 years to get here, it'll take quite some time to send something to them.

What Neil said.
And so what if there are only 4 years for its path to slowly change rather than 10. Space is big, Earth is small. That is more than enough time for courses to change enough.

What plan is ready to actually do what you are suggesting?

Why not?

Okay. First, I'd organize a mass human sacrifice. Nerds, Geeks, Dweebs, Animetards and Geordies would be sacrificed to the god(s). Then I'd organize a mass orgy.

You forgot gingers.  For the mass sacrifice, not the orgy.  That would be just gross.

I just don't get the red head hate. Especially from Brits. Considering they are genetic mess already, they don't have much room to talk about a little red hair.

[PDH]

They wanted to cover all the hate bases.

Because it's incredibly difficult to find such tiny objects in the outer solar system, even when you're actively looking for them.
