What does ‘Project Light Brigade’ refer to?

थोडक्यात उत्तर

उत्तर

Project Light Brigade was the code name for the operation that the scientists were carrying out to stop the collision of the comet with the earth. The project involved placing nuclear payload in a spaceship, sending it to intercept the approaching comet, and detonating it by remote control. December 15 was the date when if the experiment failed, the comet would collide with the earth. However, if it did not, then the comet would pass by at a near but safe distance.
