The countdown has begun: NASA has announced that the 350-meter asteroid Apophis will be heading for Earth in five years’ time! Experts are currently working flat out to prepare for the rendezvous with the projectile from outer space – but what could we actually do in the event of a collision? Would we be defenceless against the death and destruction that an asteroid of this size would unleash? Or are there ways and means of warding off the danger from space? Well, that’s exactly what NASA staff are asking themselves – which is why they recently drew up an emergency plan to deal with an asteroid that has a 72 percent chance of hitting us!
