Earth’s scientists couldn’t stop NASA’s killer asteroid

The video explores a hypothetical scenario where Earth's scientists attempt to prevent an asteroid from hitting the planet. Various mission options are considered, including spacecraft deflection techniques. However, these methods are deemed ineffective due to time constraints. The use of a nuclear explosion is proposed as a viable solution, but it is only effective for smaller asteroids. The video highlights the challenges and potential solutions in asteroid deflection.
