3 Ways to Save Earth from an Asteroid

The video discusses the potential threat of asteroids to Earth and presents three strategies proposed by NASA to deflect them: slow push methods, kinetic impact, and the nuclear option. Each method has its advantages and challenges, with the nuclear option being the most effective but also the most controversial due to international treaties. The video emphasizes the need for international cooperation to implement these plans if necessary.

Explain the nuclear option for asteroid deflection. What are the potential benefits and drawbacks?

What international regulations could impact the use of nuclear devices in space for asteroid deflection?
