While I loved and lived for Star Trek, we have had the technology to
turn a 300 foot asteroid (meteor) into little rocks and have for
decades. We have the nukes. Elon has the rockets.
Or we could have someone else do it. Nearly all of the rocks would burn
up in our atmosphere and would provide a spectacular meteor shower.
Be there or be square. ;)
