China plans their own deep impact mission - except that instead of boring a hole into an asteroid/comet to study the history of the early solar system, China's mission is to protect earth from asteroids that would wipe us out ala Armegeddon and Deep Impact (the movie).

So their plan is to get a spacecraft to paste itself into an asteroid, and it's use boosters to change the trajectory of a spatial object! HAHA, NASA's mission didn't move the comet at all, China plans to do the opposite!
