It must be remembered that astronomers are very attentive to potentially dangerous asteroids, especially a new asteroid with an impact potential called 2013 DW, the impact probabilities are constantly recalculated, with each new data that arrives, with each new image, with each new analysis that is done and the normal thing is that the more data you have, the more the possibility of risk is reduced, is what usually happens normally.

The question that many people ask is, if it would be worth reducing that risk margin to zero, completely eliminating the risk, not 1 in 625 or 1 in 6000 but 0, we could send a planetary defense mission, so here to the year 2046 there is a quite respectable time margin, the asteroid is also not far away, it is circling the sun close to the orbit of the earth, now it is about 18 million kilometers from us, which means that a mission could be sent quite Easy up to it and deflect it by crashing a ship into this asteroid.

The Chinese mission would be carried out from the year 2026 and would consist of launching a long March 3B rocket with a ship that would end up hitting the asteroid, so by February 14, 2046, the critical date, we could have at least two defense systems. planetary if the margin of risk increased.
