How Would We Stop a Large Asteroid?

Last week, an asteroid dubbed "2019 OK" flew past the Earth closer than most asteroids. Had we been less lucky, it would have smashed into the planet with the force of 30* that the bomb that struck Hiroshima... and the scariest part? We didn't even detect it until just days before it flew past. With existing anti-asteroid technology requiring at least a year of warning, it is difficult not to look up at the night sky and be slightly afraid. If another unlikely visitor shows up just days before its collision, could we stop it? In this video, we explore the threats large asteroids pose, and how NASA, among other agencies, are planning to save the Earth from an asteroid collision.
