Russia is considering sending a spacecraft to a large asteroid to knock it off its path and prevent its collision with Earth - a collision NASA considers highly unlikely - the head of the country's space agency said Wednesday.

    I say they should put a little gunship in space, have a little joystick and fire button on a console on Earth and charge people $10 million to play Asteroids for real here on Earth. If they can charge people for rides to the space station I say they can make a mint with this idea. Patent pending BTW.
