What if, without warning, the U.S.S. Enterprise's saucer section was totally pulverized by an asteroid impact, during the end of the five-year mission?

Congratulations you just killed the crew of the Enterprise. I said the saucer section is totally pulverized, that means the Enterprise is reduced to just the secondary hull. |

But you killed the bridge crew, thus no Kirk, Spock anymore, only person i think who is in command will be Scotty who is in engineering. |

This timeline is inspired by the Challenger and the Columbia disasters from 1986 and 2003 respectively. I was thinking about the similar Star Trek equivalent of the shuttle disaster.

The Enterprise is destroyed no matter what you intend.
The forces involved would destroy more than the saucer. For one thing, an asteroid is huge. It would keep going and not notice the Enterprise, pulverizing the entire ship before anyone noticed what had happened.
Even if it were a glancing blow from a meteor at just the right angle the sheer amount of force being dumped into the ship's frame would cause irreparable damage and massive casualties. If by some miracle (even for Scotty) the ship survives and limps back to Spacedock it would likely be scrapped.
