In all seriousness...

1) It was Jor-El (I'm a geek and proud of it!)

2) Nuking an asteroid won't do much good. Instead of one bing bang you'll get a LOT of big bangs.

3) The real solution is to detect the asteroid early and then send a rocket to rendez-vous with it and ever-so-gently nudge it to a non-lethal course. When it's millions of miles away, you only have to nudge it VERY little to make it miss.

This is why we fund things like NASA.
