Now this is awesome

'Bumping' might damage the bag, but if you got the bag travelling at the same velocity, a slight nudge with the magnus effect at which the asteroid's spinning can deviate its course away from earth?

very good (bops to hard techno bgm)

[@UnitDave]

Even Monty Python sketches do not sound as ridiculous as this garbage(bag).

.......yeeeaaahhhh, I'll stick to the nuclear warhead option, thanks.

Wow

[@justinvankoughnett4168]

Your going to put a bag around an asteroid? Why not just nudge it off course with a few well aimed projectiles?

[@tomaf]

HOw can they make the bagging device travel at 40,000 mph?

2029. Apophis astroid. In 11 years we will have the highest chance of an astroid hitting earth ever

[@bossanovabossanova3386]

Does anyone know about the Apophis asteroid? Most people I talk to have never heard of it

[@angeljs235]

Why don't you bump the asteroid aside and change its course? Instead of destroying that costly rubbish bag?

Just saying. Not acting smart. Anyone, feel free to tell me why my idea may or may not work! 💕
