How To Deflect Asteroids and Save The Earth

One of the largest threats to man kind is having the earth struck by a meteor. Scientist David French is working on a solution to this problem, he has found away to divert an asteroid by throwing it off course and sending it around the earth. This would be accomplished by placing ballast on the asteroid; ballast is something that is used on ships for keeping balance. Other methods would be to nuke the asteroid but this method would have to over come many political and technical barrios.
