Well . . .

Obviously, if we had the technology for transferring the huge number of people to Mars required to create a viable permanent population, not to mention the technology required to support a permanent ecosystem, then we would be able to easily use the same technology to divert any approaching asteroids large enough to create an extinction scenario.

Then came the cloners, and a very real reason to worry over in-flight radiation levels.
