I'm going to have to call bullshit here. What exactly could we do (other than send Bruce Willis up there after it) to prevent an asteroid from hitting us? Actually, the asteroid that just passed us, and the one talked about in the quote you are calling "bullshit" on, is only 40 yards wide... A size well within what could be vaporized by a nuke. So, given that, if we know about it well ahead of time, why wouldn't it be "potentially preventable"?
