Bofoy is a scientific genius and a utilitarian. If his new missile system tested against the meteor worked then the trial was a success, which he was somewhat arrogantly expected it to be, but if it failed and a few thousand meteor-fodder citizens got vaporized then how could he have further prevented that? He's cold and calculating, but he's also a harsh realist who understands that he can't stop people from dying, but he can work to mitigate or neutrilize future mass losses of life through his research.

Some people can hate him and think he's a selfish prick or a villain hiding in wait, but when the monitors are off and Bufoy is sitting alone in the dark staring at his dimly-lit control panel, I suspect he reflects back on when he abandoned his empathy for others in order to advance his scientific research without sentiments holding him back by weighing down his conscience. He needs to reassure himself that what he's doing - all his manipulative games and scheming - is for a greater good.
