Why NASA Might Nuke an Asteroid in Space

2025-09-26 14 Dailymotion

NASA is seriously considering using a nuclear explosion in space to prevent a potential asteroid collision with the Moon in 2032. Asteroid 2024 YR4, once thought to pose a risk to Earth, now has a small but real chance of slamming into the Moon — and that could unleash a dangerous storm of space debris.

While the chances are low, the consequences are high. NASA’s options? Deflect the asteroid or destroy it — possibly with a one-megaton nuclear blast. This video breaks down the science, the urgency, and what it would take to stop this cosmic threat before it's too late.
