 that is why I put 'almost' on it, However, after comicality  review, I

Depends on the size of X and the force being applied.

Depends on the nature of the asteroid and whether tearing it apart would 
make it small enough for the atmosphere to handle should any of the pieces 
impact.

computer timed firing circuit. If you know the tumble and the exact position 
and orientation of your rocket thruster you can pick the exact moment in 
time in which the resultant net application of force is in the precise 
direction you want. More realistically though, you would pick a reasonable 
point in time and then calibrate the position and direction to match what 
you need them to be at that moment in time to get the desired result.

No, more likely it would be a robotic probe since a manned probe would 
necessarily have to be bigger, heavier and thus slower. Both to assemble and 
to get on target. In space timing can be important. The longer a vector has 
to work, and when that vector is applied can produce massively different 
results. In the case of avoiding an impact pretty much any vector will 
result in a miss if the induced vector has enough time in which to act.

for x = 1 degree, the velocity normal to the path to the earth should be
tan function which for small angles you can use the approximation,
tan(A)= A  or   0.0175 in radians

so the velocity vector normal to path is 1.75% of 20,000 mph = 350 mph

so how much energy does it take to get a 10,000 # rock to move from 0 to
350 mph ?

convert units (ez)  4,535.9kg  times  156.5 m/s = 709,868 kilogram
meters per second (kg*m/s) applied to the asteroid normal to earth path

seems like a tough call for a rocket engine to do that, shoot out 450 kg
at 1,500 m/s ?

all iron, mostly iron, part rock and iron, mostly rock,
Nasa would know somewhere how much they are held together

that is doable, need a good frame reference to stars or what is visable,
or a good nav system from the ship that brought it over.

kinetic impactor is ballparked above, but one has to fly it up there,
then change the velocity vector of the impactor to normal of earth path,

like fire it up towards it to the right side, then have it turn hard
left and fire rockets home in.

Impactor could bust it up if the rocks are just hanging around each other

the large mass tugging on it, how large ?  what keeps it close to the
asteroid... (has to be in same orbit) and then your tugger becomes an
object that is threat to earth

Except we're talking orbital mechanics here not a single body problem. You 
can speed, up slow down, side vector or some combination of these. All of 
these will produce a miss given the vector change has enough time to 
operate. After all, when you're talking MILLIONS OF MILES....it doesn't take 
much of a change to change a hit into a miss.

yea, just chose the 1 degree to show the math, it scales
if 1/10 of a degree, then 35 mph,
or 1/100 of a degree then 3.5 mph

and it is the angle subtended from the disk of the earth back to the
asteroid, and if millions of miles away, that angle is very small,
(same function I think, tan (diameter of earth/distance away from
earth), and since angle is so small, can use the linear approximation
again)

 4000 mi/1,000,000 miles => .004 radians very small angle.

this would do much better on a graph...

It is ludicrous.

There are many fast-acting threats "to life, security and prosperity
on Earth," including:
- Nuclear war
- Pandemics
- Supervolcanoes

Nothing if we keep wasting money on "fighting" climate change.

Yes.

So what?

It is it is a religious belief, not a "given fact," that global
warming is "bad."

What "problem?"

It is not necessary to "(try to) deal with global warming."

It is a fool's errand.

We can (try to) deal with a "big ass asteroid" and some other real
problem simultaneously if people with the purse strings will ignore
the hysterical shrieking from your comrades about a non-problem.

>BTW: NASA and other organisations already track "big ass asteroids" so

Knowing the "big one" is coming and being "prepared" are different
things. We won't be "prepared" unless we quit pissing money down the
AGW rathole.

Newsflash, kooky: the earth has finite fossil fuels and we've already used 
more than half of them up. We will *necessarily* transition to cleaner 
energy sources. The only choice we get is when, and maybe how messily. 
Might as well be now and as smoothly as we can manage it. And that will 
deal with AGW in the process.

Nads idea of "smooth" is a quick return to the middle ages to 
"stabilize" the climate. Forget that we've got 300 years worth of coal 
which could be used without problem if a little effort were put into 
"clean coal". Oh wait! We all make fun of coal and use oil and gas until 
it runs out and THEN return to the middle ages. OF course we COULD have 
an energy tax that could fund clean coal research, but it's really much 
better to give that money away to Third World dictators to waste and 
live high until everything crashes. In Nads world logic and reason play 
no role.
