Watch for something after 2:20 coming towards it from the right of the screen:
Looks like they tried to hit it with their missile defense network. And failed. Not surprised, my grandfather was involved with the original Star Wars research program and there's no way these systems are designed to function against something like this. Even if it had made contact, I doubt it would have done anything.
The Russians are now proposing an international asteroid repulsion program, but I don't think any governments [incl theirs] is taking the idea seriously.

Personally I'm with Tyson who I believe shares the view of "I don't give a fuck what they do as long as it gets us closer to space and doesn't push us further away". (I may be paraphrasing/making it all up a bit, but I'm sure he shares similar sentiments".
