Project Icarus was a plan devised by the Massachusetts Institute of 
Technology (M.I.T.) to place rockets with nuclear warheads on a platform 
orbiting the Earth at a specified distance in space to protect us from just 
such an event.  I forget what year this came out, but now would be a good 
time to reinstitute the plan, if we haven't already.  (-:

In my case, YES!  It would be redundant, but not everyone feels as we do.
