Nasa has developed a detailed strategy to protect Earth from potentially catastrophic asteroid impacts, drawing inspiration from the extinction event that wiped out the dinosaurs. The plan includes using spacecraft to deflect asteroids and, in extreme cases, considering a nuclear solution. Nasa successfully tested their ability to redirect asteroids with the DART mission, proving their capability in planetary defense. The agency also has a contingency plan involving nuclear explosives for situations where there is little time to act. Nasa’s planning is driven by the recognition of the devastating consequences of a planet-killer asteroid impact.
