    They’ve got bugs that can shoot spaceships out of orbit with their butts. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to think they could knock an asteroid out of orbit.

    Though considering your username it might be you dropping the rocks.

      They have almost zero space presence, they only attack the ships from the ground. The only thing they can do with space is sending eggs away. (And those asteroids weren’t knocked out of orbit, they were sent though hyperspace.)

      Besides, the movie makes it pretty clear they just discovered they are in a war a few weeks prior.

      (And now I’m wondering how the fuck do I remember that well a movie I’ve seen once, a long time ago… Is it actually good and I didn’t notice at the time?)

          Hum… Either the brain bugs that started being created weeks prior discovered some mechanism they have been using to bombard the Earth for decades… Or the military speakerheads and the news that lie about literally every single thing we see happening lied about something else.

          That’s indeed a difficult choice.
