"Gravity Tractor" Could Deflect Earth-Threatening Asteroids
A "gravity tractor" could deflect an Earth-threatening asteroid if it was deployed when the asteroid was more than one orbit away from the potential impact, according to a new study. If the space rock was found heading straight for Earth, a combination of techniques - including a gravity tractor - might save the day.

It's just testing this month. If it's going to turn us into a black hole, it'll probably be Sept.
