Not like we don't have enough things on our mind...but in case you don't, "What If we blew up an asteroid?". Assuming we'd be considering this, it'd be safe to say there's a pretty good reason, i.e. an asteroid is on a collision course with Earth. If the dinosaurs were around to ask, they'd tell you that doesn't end well. So instead, we asked Bill Nye "The Science Guy" that exact question. So join Peter, Richard and Bill Nye as they discuss blowing up asteroids and a whole host of other things this week on "What If Discussed".

NOTE: What If Discussed is on hiatus. The former producer and co-host of "What IF Discussed" asked and tried to answer lots of question on the show along with the top names in science. Join him now as he looks to go deeper, ask bigger questions with world thought leaders with nuance, objectivity and context on "A Third Way". - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCK1ZkAdeQ6UGJ_duA2FzEfg
