Plot twist, this test actually knocks the asteroid into Earth's path.

[joseramon]

What if it's not a They will never tell us that its a true test

[armondo]

They should have just sent Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck 😂

[boataxe]

Just give me a little spaceship, I was really good at Astroids back in high school.

[moises]

This definitely won’t expose our solar system with unwanted asteroid pathogens 🦠

[tinah.]

Ever heard of the Butterfly effect? Wonder what the models say? Hope they are better models than the one that started the Covid panic.

[aarronguthrie]

I mean i seem to remember a study about rotating objects in space having their own gravitational force... "grasping at straws for funding, still."

[flipr]

Trial run my ass. What are they not telling us

[james]

You could use rocket to push the asteroid out the way furk

[joelolwertz]

When the media tells you it is just a test...the asteroid is just 6 years away from hitting earth

[olincekongo]

0:39 *Wow we won't use nuclear warhead.*

[editk]

Go asteroid! Don't let anyone push you off your course!

[nyc_superman]

Is her eyelash coming off? Or she crying? Just asking!

[rawr]

i wont be surprised if they knock it on course

[katiem]

This is like a movie, like “Deep Impact” or “Armageddon” happening in real life. WHAT the heck . So scary

[sushi_bunn]

why are they changing the direction if it’s not even close to us

[sambivins]

You think the so called "Space Force" would be handling this....

[chuckhartey]

While we're at it we need to get rid of the whole asteroid belt then we can work on moving the andromeda galaxy out of the way

[oldsoldier]

Would anybody else find it hilarious if they miscalculated the point of impact, and redirected it onto a collision course with Earth? Imagine the scramble, trying to get a second one ready for the next viable launch window, and hoping the weather cooperates. 🤣😂🤣

[TheMooseintree]

Its not on a collision course but.... Lets send a darn rocket to steer it from hitting earth???? Lol 😭😂
And to think its been written that these things would unfold the way event's are unfolding. Praise the Lord. Even so, come Lord Jesus.
