| We’ve all seen Armageddon, so it’s easy to imagine that Earth could potentially be saved from a killer asteroid by a ragtag group of scientists and engineers led by Bruce Willis, but the reality is of course much different. Now, a new study suggests that not only would destroying an incoming asteroid be difficult, but it might be even harder than the most pessimistic estimates have projected. The work, which was carried out by researchers at Johns Hopkins, suggests that obliterating a threatening space rock is going to take far more power than anyone had imagined.
