Scientists said in a statement that if we face such hypothetical situation in real life, then we will not be able to launch any space craft with such current capabilities in such a short time.

NASA and its partners around the world conducted an important exercise last month to determine how much scientists could understand and discover how to prevent a catastrophic collision of an asteroid coming towards Earth. Will take time. However it was imaginary and its purpose was to give scientists time to prepare for such situations if such situations arise.
Scientists created the event: A mysterious asteroid from about 35 million miles (56.3 million kilometers) is coming towards the Earth and can hit the Earth in six months. Scientists were given a week from April 26 to plan ways to stop or change the direction of the imaginary asteroid called 2021 PDC.
No technique to stop asteroid
The participants were informed about the asteroid every day. The size of the asteroid was determined to be between 35 m and 700 m. With every passing hour, scientists started developing information. On the second day, scientists confirmed that the effect of the asteroid will take place over the coming six months over a vast area, which includes Europe and North Africa.
By the end of the week, he said with some degree of certainty that Asteroid would collide between Germany and the Czech Republic. Scientists later concluded that there is currently no technology available to stop a giant asteroid from wiping out the world. He said that it would require more than six months to remove the asteroid from the path.
Nuclear explosive device an option
Scientists said in a statement that if we face this kind of situation in real life, then we will not be able to launch any spacecraft with such current capabilities in such a short time. He also said that the use of a nuclear explosive device to inhibit an asteroid could reduce the risk of harm even in the absence of a clear understanding of the asteroid’s properties. However, the capability of specific nuclear explosive devices may not be sufficient for large asteroids.
