Wtf, no, the way to deflect an asteroid is to send something near it while it's far away. Blowing it up just risks another smaller asteroid hitting us. Small changes in direction while incredibly fast away will change its path enough to be safe.

I have no idea, I had this on my computer so I uploaded it and it works. It works on some front ends and apps and not on others. I was just happy with the magic and used it!
