Jul 25, 2023 at 3:29 comment added Loren Pechtel By my back of the envelope calculation the entire Apollo/Saturn V stack comes up a bit short on catching Apophis but that's neglecting the Oberth effect from burning almost all of it in low Earth orbit. It would be a one way mission with only a few days of life support even if you could catch it.
