Is it possible to eliminate threatening asteroid or a comet by shooting powerful microwave ray from Earth? <br />My idea starts with six powerful space telescopes, stationed in the geostatic orbit around Earth, and those telescopes serve as Early Warning and Detection system. With six telescopes, which are multi spectral (infrared and visible) all possible directions, from which threat could come, are monitored in real time. Once the threat is detected, a small probe is launched with a single purpose- to determine targets composition. After that, microwave cannons, based on Earth, can fire a powerful beam at the target, disrupting the N.E.O. crystal grid and eliminating the threat. I know that it is a little bit like Star Wars Death star but I do not know, maybe it would work… <br />
