yes, we used an impact vehicle to determine the composition of an asteroid. to date, nasa still has not come up with a viable plan to alter the course of an asteroid.

this article discusses the next steps in understanding comets and asteroids.

I suppose we could launch Rosie O'Doughnut into space and have her catch the asteroid in her orbit.

If that fails, we could just position Charlie Weis in the impact area and trampoline the fucking thing back into space.

Which one of those was "Deep Impact"?

Or we could launch Charlie Weis into the asteroid and just destroy it so we don't have to worry about it anymore. (Would take a lot of rocket fuel to get him off the ground though.)

I was concerned that the thrust required would knock us out of orbit

Perhaps Weis could be sent to an all-you-can-eat buffet, and then have a NASA engineer point his mouth at the asteroid while sticking a finger down his throat.
