NASA paid me a billion dollars to stop asteroid crashing into Earth
Briefly

On September 24, 2182, if humanity takes no steps to prevent it and the odds line up, it will hit the surface of the Earth at a velocity of Mach 36, or 27,000 miles per hour - a freight train crashing into the planet.
In 2011, NASA awarded me a billion dollars to accomplish just that. The mission would come to entail not only sending a spacecraft to the asteroid but bringing a piece of it back to Earth.
