Even if it was Hoaxland, it is a pretty good story and goes along with all the Warning Tests going on around the world. I mean it actually would kind of make sense because of countries ramping up again for space defense. Even though it is supposed to miss us, wouldn't it be a great opportunity for these programs to "test" their defenses against NEO's? I would feel much more comfortable knowing we COULD hit one and change its course than having one that is for sure going to impact and try it for the first time.
Cute. The asteroid doesn't hit Earth... See! It worked! The missile worked! Sort of like banging sticks together to keep tigers away.

I heard that the sources are stating now, that multiple warheads were fired. There has been a lot of thinking into preventing asteroid devestation, latest theory is one warhead to split the roid, second warhead to vaporise the debris. If this sources are correct in this latest information, then we will be safely in bed tonight and sleep soundly.

Actually according to the official report we have only known about it since it was discovered in December of 2005. Attaching something to it without a specific program having been built around a project of those proportions would pretty much be impossible, and with it travelling as fast as it is, a minor miscalculation would not allow for much of a second chance.
