SDI technology is being developed primarily to enable us to destroy
or deflect this asteroid.

Put the idea of destroying the asteroid right out of your thinking. The
mass would remain, and simply would be distributed over a much broader area,
possibly setting half the world on fire. Deflection is really the only
option.

Wouldn't "setting half the world on fire" be preferrable to
devastating quakes, tsunamis AND setting half the world on fire?
Also, if the asteroid is fragmented far enough some pieces will miss
Earth entirely. Not a good thing but under desperate circumstances ...
