Asteroid 2024 YR4's potential lunar impact in 2032 has prompted renewed consideration of nuclear disruption as a planetary defense strategy. While kinetic methods are insufficient for this 60-meter asteroid, nuclear intervention offers a scalable solution. Mission windows are being evaluated for late 2029 to late 2031, aiming to prevent secondary hazards like debris clouds threatening satellites and human spaceflight.
