I find Coast To Coast to be a hit-and-miss program. It also seems that more often than not, they are being fed mis/disimformation.... Don't you think?

If the asteroid were to miss anyways, I don't see any chance of changing it's trajectory for the worse...
A missile sent FROM earth towards an asteroid that has no chance of colliding with earth would send it's trajectory FARTHER from the path of earth's, wouldn't it?

Cute.
The asteroid doesn't hit Earth...
See! It worked! The missile worked!
Sort of like banging sticks together to keep tigers away.

If it's true, it could be that the Air Force wants to practice trying to deflect an asteroid in case of a possible close impact scenario in the future. Possibly experimenting with ways to deflect an asteroid?
