Scientists plan 'Armageddon' nuclear strike from inside doomsday asteroids to save Earth

Experts have come up with a plan to explode an asteroid from the inside just in case earth is ever in the “Armageddon” style event of a meteor set for a collision course with planet Earth

Nuclear bombs planted in space rocks could save us from destruction, researchers suggest

Scientists have devised an unorthodox solution to stop a potential Doomsday asteroid from destroying Earth — by nuking the space-rock with a force equivalent to multiple Hiroshima bombs.

Chinese researchers believe they may have found the most effective way to destroy or deflect a large, Earth-threatening asteroid – by burying a nuclear bomb beneath its surface and exploding it. The idea is to first slam a metal penetrator into the asteroid, digging a deep hole. A second spacecraft would then drop a nu
