Love that they used Daft Punk throughout this whole video 😂

☄️ Trying to deflect this asteroid might have an unintended recourse or it may become another NEO Near Earth Object.

This reminds me of the movie; Don’t Look Up !, on Netflix.

Okay can we get another angle of the impact?

[Yyyyyy]

Ok here’s what I think happens in theory this would work however it is orbiting a bigger asteroid which means the bigger asteroid is in control. So here’s what will happen, probably not much at all. The impact will not knock it off orbit much at all, However had they aimed at the larger asteroid then you probably would see a change.

I hope no animals get hurt in this experiment!

Stimulating intrigue:) well presented and researched. Great to view a project that should unite nations and thus create positivity. 🙏🌈

they zoomed in on a frucking rock instead of the impact

I hope it is successful.. remember - Bruce Willis is now retired... I doubt he will want to fix it.

So, we hit an asteroid that could moved from its path around the sun, hit the Earth and destroy all life. Now tell me this is not likely to happen ?

What a waste of money. People starve in Africa and you waste money messing with nature!

Seems odd other countries would allow this "experiment"
