Nasa Dart mission animation shows how spacecraft could deflect asteroid

Nasa is preparing to launch a mission that could show us how to save the planet from an asteroid strike, similar to that seen in films such as Armageddon and Deep Impact. The Dart mission is the first dedicated to investigating and demonstrating a method of asteroid deflection by changing an asteroid’s motion in space through kinetic impact. Nasa has released an animation showing what the process may look like

This reminds me of flies and bugs that hit my windshield. It never goes well for the little fellas, and my car continues on

If one is coming, don’t tell us We can’t even share toilet paper 😳🤦‍♀️

Again with blowing thing's up.
You did not even see the last three Asteroids that hit the Earth!

[welsh-]

just hope dart doesnt cause smaller astriod too crash into the big one causeing the big one too head too earth

[ThomasMurphyCosplay]

Do we still need to lock Butters down in a Bomb Shelter and let Cartman go to Casa Bonita?

[Budanevey]

Makes you wonder why NASA feels the need to get some "practice" in.
What's on the way to Earth?

Nobody can hear you in space, Major Thomas. 😎

Was expecting it to noclip thu the rock

[violetspider_]

what if it changed trajectory to earth?

[johne]

You need to look at yur video again, dear Graun, then correct your title. I don't think it'll be the asteroid that blows up.

Someone : What's your job again ?
Spacecraft : I destroy asteroids along with

[sisfantasto]

Interesting how these naughty asteroids always have the need to destroy Earth in the end of the year. It seems as if they were chained to our calender and wanting to create some fireworks for Christmas.
Computer Animation Gaming for wanna be scientists could be the next hit in games: destroy as many asteroids as you can to save the Planet.

That's the purpose why Russia make a missile that can hit a satellite 🛰️.

[BayAreaPolice]

We are going to be okay don't worry our Earth gravity and moon will push it away it's not like the movies that's why we are still alive ;)

[JIBBING_S]

Animations 🤣
I could donate my used gopro12

[Aengus]

It's going to hit at four miles per second!

[rickwhiteye]

I swear people take credit for natural phenomenon.

[Amen-Magi]

And then they told you Redirecting a smaller asteroid causes a larger asteroid to redirect.and didymos come to Meet the earth

[jeremygilley]

So do they know that detecting it won't badfire it's on a orbit even it they deflect it right and it misses earth the first time like it would have anyway do they know what nocking it out of its normal orbit will do it might change its orbit to hit earth on it second or third pass.
