this reminds me of that movie Armegeddon.

actually i think, one of the best sci-fi movies of the late '90's.

about an asteroid that they blow up with a nuclear bomb.

Bruce Willis plays the hero who stays behind to set the bomb off manually.

also it's Ben Affleck's first & maybe best movie role. he plays a convincing oil rig worker who is shagging the Willis character's daughter, who is played by Liv Tyler.

also has Steve Buscemi in one of his best roles as a lecherous genius geologist.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120591/

the other 1998 asteroid movie, Deep Impact, sucked, compared to Armageddon.

i actually think this is one of the few real reasons to have a "space program".

since we live in a universe with asteroids whizzing by, and have been hit by asteroids before, well it's just a matter of time before we get hit again.

something comparable to Siberia 1908, or what hit the Yucatan 65 million years ago.
