there is nothing to stop a meteor from changing path unless some type of atomic-plate propulsion or ion propulsion unfortunately ion propulsion is no where near developed enough to move anything large at all. the fact that dawn is not only purely solar power but ion propelled is groundbreaking to say the least. its a simple respresentation of what we can do. build a bulky oversized ion engine and run the electricity from a nuclear reactor to keep it going for hundreds of years. the power capabilities are limitless. possibly generations upon a single intergallatic ship.
