It’s an ambitious plan to move the heavens to protect Earth. China’s space agency has announced plans to target a near-Earth asteroid by sending a rocket on a collision course to knock it into a new, safer orbit, as early as 2025. It would only be the second such attempt aimed at protecting the planet from a potentially catastrophic collision. The project follows the November 2021 launch of a Nasa rocket that hopes to accomplish a similar feat of orbit-altering accuracy.
