Impact causes an asteroid to blow up because when it hits a bigger solid surface like earth the force causes the fire that was burning it, because of our ozone layer, to spread apart and the meteor shatters making it seem like we were hit by a fireball.

What would happen if an asteroid on a collision course with Earth would get blown up in outer space?
It is FAR easier to change the direction of an asteroid than to blow it up. All that is needed to accomplish the former is to nudge the asteroid a little off its collision course with Earth, and this could be done with some small explosions on the side of that asteroid. Blowing up an asteroid would be a complete waste of energy.

How do you blow up the send the asteroid away in dead space?
You don't blow it up, you send it away so people can pick up the SOS. You must slow down the engines that have light going towards the asteroid and shoot them ( they blow up.) Watch out for aliens that come your way. Next you jump on the asteroid and get out of the ship. Then you destroy the generators outside. You can finally plant the SOS on the asteroid. Then you go back inside and go to the controll room and launch the asteroid. As soon as you do that, aliens show up, so be careful...
