I have figured out how to change earth's orbit, and it wouldn't
cost as much, why heck we could dodge these asteroids instead of
changing their course.

The rub is our mean distance and orbit
around the Sun is critical to our eco system and
food chain, and while moving earth out of the way is simple in
and of itself the side effects would cause a break down close
to the bottom layer of the food chain, and thus cause
a starvation of all the life forms above that point, so until we
learn how to eat rocks I better put my earth orbit change
plans on the back burner.

I could put my earth orbit change plan into the public domain,
it's rather simple, but I'm sort of glad the scientist haven't
figured it out yet, because as soon as they do they will
find a reason to test it, and likely forget about my warning taht it
would cause a major break down in the basic food chain.
