You gotta use the hyperspace drive to jump it through the planet!</sentencetext>

	<htmltext>In the world of space business, a little "political focus" helps to round up resources such as personnel and technologies, which might otherwise not be developed.  "Diverting an asteroid" is a political focus.  One benefit might be global survival, but the other benefits should also be considered, like developing the ability to park an iron-nickel asteroid in near-earth orbit for astro-mining to develop interstellar spacecraft and L5 habitats.

While NASA has been focused on the very far, ROSCOSMOS seems to have remembered that cost-of-production can be a direct function of distance.  If Apophis will approach within the moon's orbit, why not figure out how to grab it and park it where Soyuz and Ares can easily get to it every weekday.  Now that would be an interesting catch and the beginning of a real space economy!</htmltext>

Since you obviously can't fathom how little that is, imagine there is a room with a <i>quarter million</i> little test tubes on the floor (stay with me here, imagine it's the Boeing assembly building if it helps).

Let me also put this in more practical terms. If 1 in 5 people die in car accidents and you do the equivalent of 40 years' worth of daily driving (assuming 2 trips per day), your chance of dying any given time you get in your car is 1 in 146,000 (365*40*2*5).

<sentencetext>At the risk of parroting: I think this is an excellent and rare chance for us to get in some ?real world?, ?field work?
(not on the world or a field) of any of the ideas we've all imagined.
Original Thought (I hope): I just want them to start messing with the trajectory(s) AFTER it passes Earth on it's own.

	<htmltext>Why are the Russians wasting their time to come up with a solution for this problem?!  The United States Air Force already has something in place to take care of Apophis.

<br> <br>It's called <a href="http://stargate.mgm.com/view/series/1/index.html" title="mgm.com" rel="nofollow">SG-1</a> [mgm.com].  It's a four-man special operations unit, working out of the top secret Stargate Command, located under Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado Springs, Colorado.  The team consists of Colonel Jack O'Neill, Maj. Samantha Carter, Dr. Daniel Jackson, and former first prime of Apophis and a member for the Jaffa alien species, Teal'c.

<br> <br>Just give Lt. Gen. Hammond a ring and he'll send them in.  SG-1 will have this taken care of by tomorrow.  No problem!!</htmltext>
