My favorite fantheory about the asteroid strike from back when reddit was a half-ass decent place to visit.
Basically either the bugs have FTL technology, or use light from great distances, or Carmen Ibanez (math genius) changed the ship's route to a ricochet course. All while conveniently taking out comms to report the event, and the military industrial complex used propaganda to justify war.
How did you completely miss the part where the bugs bombed the earth, and took out Buenos Ares? Which led to the invasion of their planet?
It's just an overblown, camp take on the book, anyway. Which is far, far, far, better.
