Scientists in Russia have found a new way to use the country's surplus of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) to protect Earth from a different kind of threat: falling meteorites and asteroids from space. A report from the Russian news agency TASS revealed that a team of researchers led by Sabit Saitgarayev of the Makeyev Rocket Design Bureau are planning to convert ICBMs into projectiles that can destroy near-earth objects (NEOs) that pose an imminent threat to the safety of the planet.
