The hypothetical impact scenario, which took place during a planetary defense conference hosted by the United Nations, confirmed that there is no current technology on earth that could stop an Asteroid if we knew in advance it was projected to hit the earth.
"If confronted with the scenario in real life, we would not be able to launch any spacecraft on such short notice with current capabilities," the participants said.
The only response to such an event would be to evacuate the area before the asteroid hit, however the impact zone of many typical asteroids would be so large that would be almost impossible.
