The Japanese have test fired their first space canon. It is designed
to shoot a large metal projectile at an asteroid. The Japanese Aerospace
Exploration Agency is set to launch a ship carrying the canon into
space in 2014 and approach asteroid 1999 JU3. Once in range it will
fire, blasting a crater into the asteroid, at which point it will land
and pull samples from the asteroid, return to earth so its cargo can be
investigated.
What they aren't telling us is that if they can blow a hole in an asteroid, they can certainly turn that canon around to earth.
Next thing you know....
