Chinese Scientists Also Plan to Redirect, Bully Apophis Asteroid
However in Contact 475 from 26th of November 2008, 2:16 PM, Billy (Meier) asks Ptaah about this exact effort the Chinese have in mind; but Ptaah questions the effectiveness of such solar sail principles.
“Billy: To my knowledge certain models exist for this purpose, but the scientists cannot come to a mutual agreement with each other. You are saying that the fellow shall be pushed from its orbit, and I gather from it that blowing it up is out of the question.
Therefore, only a reaction principle could be applied, like e.g. an extremely strong nuclear reaction unit, solar sail principles, or atomic explosions near the meteor.
Ptaah:
156. Whereby atomic explosions near the meteor should be especially considered, because they are very efficient and produce a strong drifting effect.
157. However, the explosions may not occur too close to the meteor in order to avoid breaking it up, from which an even greater danger would result.
158. Such a project must be executed early and not at that time when the real danger is starting to threaten, because otherwise it would be too late for a success.
159. Working towards it must be started today.
Billy: And what about big reaction units and solar sail principles?
Ptaah:
160. Those are possibilities, but they are much more difficult to carry out, and the necessary effectiveness is questionable; besides, with regard to their efficiency they are not to be recommended because meteors are unstable with regard to a regular self-position, which makes the application of any effective reaction units and sun sails etc. nearly impossible.
Billy: Those things have to be profoundly thought about by the scientists.
Ptaah:
161. That’s really so, but time presses.”
