What prevents asteroids from hitting the earth?

The latest thinking on this subject is as follows: Not all small and sundry asteroids can be stopped from hitting the earth. Those asteroids whose paths and trajectory are fairly known along with their periodicity can be nudged from a collision course to earth by sending a rocket or spacecraft. The proximity of the rocket or spacecraft itself is expected to change the trajectory of the asteroid (in a controlled and calculated manner.) In years to come, science may come up with other additions to this basic concept to successfully deviate the asteroid from its collision course to the earth.

What does modern science say could be done to avoid an asteroid's collision with planet earth?

Nothing can be done to alter the earth's trajectory (nor should it be done, as that would effect it's orbit around the sun) but several ideas have been presented to alter the course of an asteroid, or destroy it. One idea proposed by NASA is to attach thrusters to the surface of the asteroid and remotely guide the asteroid away from the earth. The more well supported idea is to simply blow it up with a nuclear ordinance carried by a Saturn V rocket. The concern with that idea is that neutron activated asteroid fragments might still enter the atmosphere and cause trouble. The key to either method would be early detection, as most asteroids move very quickly.
