The idea of an asteroid hitting the Earth´s surface may look like a "terrifying" idea, but it is a goal that some scientists want to achieve for scientific reasons.
Astronomers said that an asteroid´s collision with the earth "Calculated Way" would allow us to bring in space rocks to the earth to discuss external life factors.
Scientists also said that bringing rocks will allow us to dig for precious metals.
Astronomers from the Scottish University of Glasgow published a new study explaining the usefulness of "aerial smashing" to asteroids coming to Earth.
On the prospective operation, the scientists said: "to ensure that the candidate asteroids cannot present the risk of collision during the air landing process, the initial risk analysis of the air attack is carried out, so that asteroids with a diameter of less than 30 meters will be nominated for aerial control."
The subject depends mainly on finding asteroids of the appropriate size, as the scientists have pointed out.
The operation will include an unmanned spacecraft that meets the asteroid long before it approaches the Earth. The vehicle will be able to destroy the asteroid with sufficient force, so that its fall on the ground does not cause damage.
