имеется риск того, что (- The nuclear option – Or we could also just blow it up with a nuclear bomb. Rather than drilling a nuclear weapon deep into an asteroid -- as depicted in the 1998 sci-fi action movie "Armageddon" -- this would likely involving detonating a bomb nearby. Last year, US researchers testing out this theory on a marble-sized mock asteroid in the lab found that the x-rays from a nuclear blast would vaporise its surface and send it shooting off in the opposite direction. Even setting aside the ethical, political and legal issues of sending nukes into space, this is considered more of a last-ditch plan for kilometres-wide asteroids like the one that killed off the dinosaurs. And again, there is a risk that a nuclear explosion could still send unpredictable chunks hurtling towards Earth.
