In the near future, the International Asteroid Warning Network (IAWN) has discovered that an asteroid with a diameter of about 10 km is about to hit the Earth. Scientists believe that once the impact occurs, it will lead to human extinction. After repeated studies and debates, people are finally forced to choose between two scenarios. Option A would launch all the nuclear fuel available to mankind to a specific location on the surface of the asteroid and detonate it, generating a counter-thrust by vaporizing the asteroid's surface material in order to change its orbit. There would not be enough time to change the orbit, and the explosion would likely create more debris instead. Option A has a very low chance of success, but offers the possibility of survival to all equally. Plan B, on the other hand, would select the best astronauts, carry well-preserved plant seeds, fertilized animal eggs, and a database of human civilization, and escape in several nuclear-powered spacecraft to a known habitable planet to rebuild human civilization. Based on existing spaceflight experience, Plan B is likely to succeed. Due to the limited amount of nuclear fuel available, the two options cannot be executed at the same time.
