City-obliterating asteroid screamed past Earth the other night – and boffins only clocked it just 26 hours beforehand

A planet-wide grid of frickin lasers would illuminate these pesky blighters, they could also destroy Musks' asteroid obscuring satellite muses

While helping to rid the sky of these things designed to soon burn up and destroy precious resources as they do, I fear that the lasers themselves would be so vast in size and numbers that we'd wind up with much the same problem - too many bright sparks in the sky launched by too many dim wits on earth :(

Still, at least we could get some decent laser shows! :)
