ASTEROID "APOPHIS" nears EARTH in April, 2029 and 2036 and again a few years later, almost every year. It is DEEMED DANGEROUS is to be DEFLECTED and DESTROYED because it is to pass between EARTH and Earth's Satellites. Its trajectory may be changed for Asteroid to be swerved closer to Earth for a direct hit which could be 3 miles deep and creating a TSUMANI of at least 50 feet high. This would bring destruction and a death toll of tens of millions of people. The Apophis Asteroid is bigger thatn the Empire State building, the size of a football field. After the Siberian Asteroid that fell in Russia last year, the Russians do not wish to take any chances. They are planning to DEFLECT and DESTRY the APOPHIS Asteroid by catching a smaller Asteroid and pounding it into a larger Asteroid, Apophis Asteroid, to cause it to break up into smaller pieces. NASA also has its own ASTEROID REDIRECT MISSIONS which will Capture and Redirect Asteroids. All this comes after the ESA's SUCCESSFUL ROSETTA COMET (67P) Mission which was a 10 year project and Landed the Philae Lander on the Comet in Nov, 2014. ~~ Links: 1) "Russia to Deflect Asteroid to hit in 2036" http://www.segnidalcielo.it/deep-impact-nel-2036-la-russia-crea-un-sistema-di-rilevamento-di-meteoriti-attivo-dal-2030/ 2) "Russian scientists come up with project to shoot down the Apophis asteroid.
