Neo-Shield
Neo-Shield is a group of scientists who want to protect the Earth from any near comets, asteroids or any objects heading for the Earth. Germany, Britain, France, Russia and the US will all take part in experiments to find a way of protecting us from harmful objects. They will also use the different types of architecture to find which one will actually deflect the object, although some scientists will have to discover some new telescopes to find the oncoming comet as using the current ones will result in global disaster because they can’t see as far as we need them to for us to know that there’s something there to be able to prepare. One of their first ideas is to use an unused spacecraft to “pull” the asteroid off trajectory using gravity but different rocks will need different experiments to find which way is best to get them away from our planet. Another idea is to “blast” it away from us by using a nuclear bomb on the surface or near the object. This may cause the asteroid/comet to break up and hit us with little pieces instead of a large piece and this idea will be pursued by the Russians. People have recently said that this is going to be difficult to place the right device at the right time and after that the outcome won’t even be guaranteed to save us. In some extreme cases 2 ideas will have to be used as one may not work as well as it should do.
