clipped from www.b612foundation.org

The Goal of the B612* Foundation is...

To significantly alter the orbit of an asteroid, in a controlled manner, by 2015.

Asteroid and comet impacts have both destroyed and shaped life on Earth since it formed.

The Earth orbits the Sun in a vast swarm of near Earth asteroids (NEAs).

The probability of an unacceptable collision in this century is ~2%.

We now have the capability to anticipate an impact and to prevent it.

* B612 is the asteroid home of the Little Prince in Antoine de Saint-Exupery's child's story The Little Prince.
