Don't bother, it will never hit! The UN is worthless anyway.

If an asteroid passes earth at say 45000 km, then whatever comes along in its tail will
likely kill many geostationary satellites that are at around 40000 km.
That would kill most of global radio and TV, not to mention other
services like mil.

Nice word, "If".
In hypothetical sentences introduced by 'if' and referring to
past time, where conditions are to be deemed 'unfulfilled',
the verb will regularly be found in the pluperfect subjunctive,
in both protasis and apodosis.

The UN, whatever you may think of it, is a body that allows resources of all countries
to be put together, something that may be needed for a deflection mission like this.
And all countries are affected, as asteroids have no preference...
