MOSCOW – Russia's space agency chief said Wednesday a spacecraft may be dispatched to knock a large asteroid off course and reduce the chances of earth impact, even though U.S. scientists say such a scenario is unlikely.
Anatoly Perminov told Golos Rossii radio the space agency would hold a meeting soon to assess a mission to Apophis. He said his agency might eventually invite NASA, the European Space Agency, the Chinese space agency and others to join the project.
When the 270-meter (885-foot) asteroid was first discovered in 2004, astronomers estimated its chances of smashing into Earth in its first flyby, in 2029, at 1-in-37.
Further studies have ruled out the possibility of an impact in 2029, when the asteroid is expected to come no closer than 18,300 miles (29,450 kilometers) from Earth's surface, but they indicated a small possibility of a hit on subsequent encounters.

This isn't news. Apophis has been known to the scientific community for a long, long time.

[pointman]

apil... hehehe, it's a joke. btw, di ba naa may solution ang NASA kung naa gyuy asteriod mo hit sa earth. Instead of sending rocket propelled nuke, higspeed large(I mean large) caliber bullet like a size of a rocket will hit the asteriod causing a change of trajectory sa asteriod's flight path. Murag sa discovery channel cguro to nako na kit-an.
