If the dice do land the wrong way in 2029, Apophis would have to be deflected by some 5000 miles to miss the Earth in 2036. Hollywood notwithstanding, that's a feat far beyond any current human technology. The fanciful mission in the 1998 movie Armageddon -- to drill a hole more than 800 ft. into an asteroid and detonate a nuclear bomb inside it -- is about as technically feasible as time travel. In reality, after April 13, 2029, there would be little we could do but plot the precise impact point and start evacuating people.

This is a little more realistic than Y2K too. Y2K was a guess, this is a known comet with a known orbit and plenty of computer projections putting it on this path.

From what i had read NASA is still gathering data on its course and wont know for sure till it passes the earth on its next orbit. There were many options to move it just enough to get it to miss. None of them had anthing to do with blowing it up though.

Correct, blowing it up (especially when its close to earth) is worse than letting it hit. Either way, there is little that I can personally do to change the outcome of this comets path so rather than worry about it constantly, I plan to live my life like I always have.
