Before a \u003cb\u003ecollision\u003c/b\u003e with Earth can be prevented, scientists must consider the \u003cbr\u003e\nNEO's size, speed, composition, and how much time is left ... One proposal \u003cbr\u003e\ninvolves landing a spacecraft on an oncoming \u003cb\u003easteroid\u003c/b\u003e and attaching a rocket to \u003cbr\u003e\nit. ... Depending on the size, shape, and composition of the meteoroid, nuclear \u003cbr\u003e\nexplosives could also be used to break it up into smaller pieces to pose less of a \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ethreat\u003c/b\u003e to Earth.
