Asteroid Threat: Defending Our Planet from Deadly Near-Earth Objects

Every day our planet passes incredible (and incredibly dangerous) "Near-Earth Objects" (NEO's). Asteroids can cause great destruction, but we have the tools and technology to face these objects and protect our planet. From an aerospace writer and researcher, this book explores several strategies for dealing with NEO's and opens the doors to understanding the planetary defense community. Burrows focuses on currently possible plans, different technology used to fight asteroids, and the potential for international cooperation.
