dicksbro,
Yessir, it certainly is!
That is why NASA needs to be able to continue funding the pogram which tracks NEAs. Sooner or later one of them will need to be interdicted, and we do not yet know enough about them.

DB when I saw this title I was laughing cause it reminded me of Paul Rever's ride which kiddo's class is renacting in school today. Last week they brought tea cups and got to taste several flavors of tea, which kiddo didn't care for.
Hijack over.............
I watched a movie about Astroids a few weeks ago.

A lot of eyes will be on TU24. Finding out if this is a single solid body or a unit of smaller components will provide different options methods of feasible intervention. They have come before and WILL come again.

No need to worry, no cause for alarm. Just getting a bucket.

whenever i hear interdiction used as a strategy to deal with potentially planet-destroying asteroids it always cracks me up ... makes it sound like we can just forbid all asteroids from hitting earth and that'll be that. lol. it's a nice euphemism though, and keeps the masses calm. i guess saying nuke the fucker out of the milky way if we have to sounds kinda scary.lmao

Interdiction, when needed, will probably take the form of a small amount acceleration expressed over an extended period. The trajectory of debris from nuking an NEA would be unpredictable and possibly dangerous. Hence the need for continuous monitoring.
