Watch our Discussed episode where we dive deeper into the topic with Bill Nye:    • Discussed: What If We Blew Up an Aste...  

An asteroid races toward Earth. It's big, it's fast, and it's about to do a lot of damage. But we're not just going to sit around and wait for the end of days. We're going to fight back. What would happen if we nuked an asteroid? Would it save humanity? Or make things worse? How does a nuclear blast in space compare to a blast on Earth? And would our nukes even be strong enough to destroy it?
