As most of the planet killers headed our way originate in the asteroid belt, can we sort of get them before they get us? Couldn't we map all the bodies in the asteroid belt, map their trajectories, then using space tugs redirect the ones headed our way anyhow into a lunar orbit? Then we could run mining operations from the moon to the asteroids orbiting the moon.
