99942 Apophis (pronounced /əˈpɒfɪs/, previously known by its provisional designation 2004 MN4) is a near-Earth asteroid that caused a brief period of concern in December 2004 because initial observations indicated a small probability (up to 2.7%) that it would strike the Earth in 2029. Additional observations provided improved predictions that eliminated the possibility of an impact on Earth or the Moon in 2029. However, a possibility remained that during the 2029 close encounter with Earth, Apophis would pass through a gravitational keyhole, a precise region in space no more than about 600 meters across[6], that would set up a future impact on April 13, 2036. This possibility kept the asteroid at Level 1 on the Torino impact hazard scale until August 2006, when the probability that Apophis will pass through the keyhole was determined to be very small. Apophis broke the record for the highest level on the Torino Scale, being, for only a short time, a level 4, before it was lowered.[7] Its diameter is approximately 270 meters (885 ft).[2]
Ovoliko buke zbog kamička prečnika 270 m i to 2036. Ma dajte ljudi, nečim se mora građanstvo plašiti.

The key question is “What can we do about an impending impact from the 2036 asteroid?”. NASA’a JPL has completed a study of a “gravity tractor”. An initial spacecraft would be crashed into Apophis to alter its course, then a second spacecraft would hover about 150 m from the 2036 asteroid to exert a slight, but steady course change. It would only slow the asteroid .22 micrometers per second per day. It is believed that the small change will be enough to cause Apophis to miss the keyhole.
A i taktika im je smiješna, čuj da asteroid skrenu sa puta. Rokni u njega 3-4 nuklearne bojeve glave i ima da ga nema.
