Nyrath Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center has designed a nuclear-warhead-carrying spacecraft, to be launched by the US agency's proposed 's Ares V cargo launch vehicle, to deflect an asteroid that could threaten all life on Earth. http://www.flightglobal.com/articles/2007/08/03/215924/nasa-plans-armageddon-spacecraft-to-blast-asteroid.html Interesting design. Should be easy to translate into a Hero system vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And taxes are worse, since death at least does not happen to you every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
