Nova Science Now: Asteroid

The asteroid might hit Earth in 2029! What a terrible thing!
After watching this video, I have many different kinds of feeling. Firstly, it is an interest because of the information about our solar system and especially about asteroid in this presentation which I never knew before.It made me surprised. Also, it stirred the curiousness in my mind. I thought our universe has full of mysteries like asteroids, galaxy, black holes which not only meself but also most people in the world would like to discover. However, there is sadness because I felt that the Earth and human are tiny in this immense universe. So, what can we do to safe the earthand our lives? Using our brain and all knowledge to prevent it. The scientists also show us 2 methods to protect our plane. The first one is using nuclear weapons to deflect the asteroid's orbit or making them slow enough to miss the earth. The second methods is use a gravity machine to deflect it out of the earth. That sounds good, but just a few people people agree with it. I hope the scientists can succeed to prevent an asteriod.
