Anti-Asteroid Shield
Asteroids and other space objects are always a threat that is quite scary for our little planet: Earth. The destruction of life in the era millions of years ago an asteroid believed to result from the reckless wandering into our atmosphere and crash into the earth to cause catastrophic damage, earthquake, tsunami, and the closing of the atmosphere with dust from the mountain that erupted due to the earthquake that occurred by the act of shaking the asteroid's crust the earth.
Plus the latest news about the emergence of a giant asteroid the size of 400 times the city of London who was led into the earth, and scientists estimate that the asteroid dimensionless length of 19 km x Width 13 x Height 13 km will have a closest distance to Earth next week (early February 2012).

Asteroid is named "(433) Eros" Astroid is the largest ever approached Earth. Plus the latest information from the NASA scientist who said that an asteroid by Bus will be at the closest distance of 59,130 km from Earth on Friday before February 3, 2012, and may constitute a serious and deadly threat to human civilization, although the scientists stated that the Asteroid " BX34 2012 "will not threaten the earth, and just ride through before continuing her travels around the Milky Way.
However, the threat of more than 1000 asteroids which have a length of more than 1 km, and 19,500 more asteroids measuring more than 100 Meters which at times can threaten the earth to make the European Union through NEOShield project is developing a project "Earth Shield" which is expected to operate three years.
Project ideas in the earth shield or shield against this asteroid is making some protection to the Earth from threats of celestial objects such as meteors and asteroids are expected to go to earth and crashed into the earth. With the aid fund of $ 6.3 million from the European Commission and the $ 2.7 Million from scientific institutions, German Aerospace Center NEOShield assigned to develop this project.
Crazy ideas that came out from researchers on how to conquer a serious threat to the earth is:
Kinetic Impactor, which is using a giant missile that serves to shoot the asteroids and other celestial bodies to deflect its path out of the paths that are considered harmful to the earth.
Gravity Tractor, which is to create artificial gravity device placed in outer space, where its function is also to attract a near earth asteroid and deflect its course.
Mass Attack, an idea of waging a "war" to all who are near earth asteroid with full power using nuclear missiles.
Blast deflection, an idea that never aired in movie theaters in "Armageddon" starring Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck, where people are sent into the near-Earth asteroid and blow it up from within.
Will humans be able to fight the "ferocity of Space"? Can men avoid the destruction that once happened to witness the history of the valley of the Grand Canyon and Crater Barringer Asteroid due to hit? Not to mention the threat of solar storm that can disrupt the so-called human civilization. Our Earth is old. Anti-Asteroid Shield
