Stop Worrying About Killer Astroids; The U.N. is on It.

Some may say that it's a bit premature to start worrying about killer astroids scheduled to graze earth in 2036, but those people would probably not be members of the U.N.

A confidence-inspiring quote from Reuters:
The favored approach to dealing with a potentially deadly space rock is to dispatch a spacecraft that would use gravity to alter the asteroid's course so it no longer threatens Earth, said astronaut Ed Lu, a veteran of the International Space Station.

Personally, I favor giant rock-busting lasers shot from triangular-shaped spacecraft, but I could be persuaded otherwise. Which approach to do you favor?
