TechCrunch reporter Darrell Etherington writes that MIT researchers have developed a framework for determining the best course of action to take to deflect an incoming asteroid. The researchers developed a “decision map” that takes into account “the mass and relative momentum of an approaching asteroid, as well as the expected time we have before it enters into a so-called ‘keyhole.’”
