How to deflect an Asteroid
The B612 foundation (named after the asteroid The Little Prince lived on) , is a group dedicated to controlled movement of asteroids. They have released the NASA Report "2006 Near Earth Object Survey and Deflection Study" (WARNING 23 Mb PDF, not dialup friendly at all).
It's an intresting read. At the very least you will learn a lot more about asteroids. The B612 foundation also have some critiques of the report.
