Tasha,
your comment about using several nukes to stop the meteor is
interesting and workable if the meteor is small enough. There are some really big one
out there so large they call them planet busters. But saying all that was
needed was to alter its course slightly was the comment I was hoping someone
would make. Instead of using a nuclear weapon why not just attach a rocket engine
to it and move it enough to make it miss Earth rather than trying to blow it
up and cause more trouble with the debris and radiation. In fact since the
aliens had to use some type of propulsion device to head the thing toward Earth
it might still be there and SHADO could simply take it over and send it on its
way. No nukes needed.
