Using asteroids as Kinetic Energy Weapon "shields"

How about being able to put an asteroid in geostationary orbit above your base to block an incoming Kinetic Energy Weapon (Asteroid) ? just a thought.

Could also put the nuke type missile defense, as seen in the video, on the "shield" asteroid to try to block incoming attacks.

if the Kinetic Energy Weapon to too big or fast might make for an even bigger explosion or shatter and rain down meteors over a wider range causing MUCH more splash damage?

Or being able to blow up your own asteroid before it impacts making a cluster bomb effect with less damage per impact but harder to block

Like below:


with this hitting first:
MUAHAHAHAH cluster asteroids baby !!!

Re: Using asteroids as KEW "shields"

someone want to fill me in as to what a 'KEW' is?

Re: Using asteroids as KEW "shields"

Kinetic Energy Weapon. Like a space cannon or such.

Re: Using asteroids as KEW "shields"

Cannons are not KEWs. Asteroids are.

... Would you believe that I typed that, then Google'd it, and then editted it?

Probably not. But it's true. Curse Google.

Or maybe being able to shatter the asteroid before it gets to its destination making a cluster bomb using asteroids - harder to block all the incoming bits - although less damage per asteroid segment

i always imagined being able to send a crew to the asteroid to drill into the center of the core of the asteroid then detonating a nuke inside of the core splitting it into two.

then while watching and laughing at my opponent as the two pieces miss the planet altogether...

wait, they should make a movie on this....
