Target: Conditions that lead to 20 km miss
-6MO
T - 6 months
Predicted safe asteroid position: [-2.3 km, +0.8 km, +1.1 km]
Required velocity correction: -0.8 cm/s (vertical)
ODE_PREDICT r_safe_trajectory,
constraints="newtonian_mechanics + solar_gravity",

Checking for paradoxes...
✓ Comet approach was historically recorded
✓ No "grandfather paradox" created
✓ Timeline forms self-consistent loop
✓ Signal arrival = signal history (no causality violation)
