Silly Russians, everyone knows that Steve Buscemi, Bruce Wllis, and Ben Affleck can stop meteors.
I thought it was Robert Duvall, Ron Eldard and Jon Favreau...

I don't quite understand this. They want to use a nuclear weapons to protect us from objects 30 to 50 meters in size but they want to test it on something that is 350 to 400 meters in size? Huh?

Go big or stay on earth.
