If ever we're faced with a worldwide mass extinction threatening devastating meteor, then as an international effort of humanity, we should design and construct one huge immense haycart and fill it with as much hay as we can harvest. All we have to do then is ensure that it is positioned appropriately at the crucial time, facing the right way in preparation for impact. Problem solved.

I assume this contribution is a joke. The meteor that destroyed most of the dinosaurs was only a few kilometers in size but it had the power of many atomic bombs. There are already many scientists thinking about the problem but no secure answers.

Giant trampoline would be better, send the sucker right back where it came from.

I think the appropriate position for the haycart would be were we could all jump into it for the worlds biggest (and last) "roll in the hay!" We will all go out with a bang!
