Asteroidal defence

David Jones

Nature, 1999, vol. 402, issue 6758, 136-136

Abstract: Continuing this week's asteroidal theme, Daedalus has a plan for what we could do should a stray asteroid or comet smash into the Earth. His idea is that a defence system could be placed in a high Earth orbit. But this system would not consist of nuclear missiles -- rather, it would be another asteroid.
