💨 Abstract

Asteroid 2024 YR4 has a 2.3% chance of hitting Earth in 2032, and efforts are underway to deflect it, but time is short. Dr Robin George Andrews, author of How to Kill an Asteroid, warns that a decade is required for proper planning and execution of such missions. If the asteroid is not deflected, evacuation or using a nuclear bomb in space could be considered.
