Good thing Bruce Willis won’t have to sacrifice himself next time.

I'd like to let everyone know that the reason we don't just nuke asteroids is because it turns one problem into several billion problems that are all equally as dangerous as the original problem.

This only worked because refrigerators are indestructible. They also perfectly preserve anyone taking shelter inside them from any heat or percussive force, from a nuclear detonation, for example. I know it's true because I saw it in a documentary about this older archaeologist bonding with his son while unraveling a mystery about crystal skulls.

I can't imagine the mathematical precision needed to hit a moving celestial object like that.

Hits a refrigerator sized object from millions and millions of miles away with a smaller object. God I love science

This takes away a giant childhood anxiety from when I first learned about dinosaurs

I'm now picturing NASA scientists yelling "It's coming right for us!" South Park style.

I hope it doesn't decide to collide with a larger asteroid and divert it towards my planet... I want you to intercept it and return it to its previous orbit.

So this is officially a success? Thanks for the info, I remember them saying it would take some time to know if it was successful.

Imagine if this kills another civilisation which might be monitoring it and suddenly it goes into their orbit

This is not the first time. I sent an idea to NASA and MIT on how to destroy or deflect an incoming asteroid; they used my idea on a 1.2 mile asteroid that was going to hit at a 1 degree angle and was supposed to kill 6.5 to 6.8 Billion people and cause a nuclear winter that would last over 1, 000 years. But because of the crafts used, they keep harassing me and they kept the glory for themselves! They didn't come up with it, I did!!! I watched this thing for over 40 years; all they came up with was solar sails! My idea saved us, not theirs!!! Where is my thanks?!

Just looking at that asteroid… How the surface of it is so foreign looking… The blackness of the void of space and the cosmos around it… And then realizing that this rock has been through some of the most amazing cosmic events, has been around for an unfathomable amount of time, and on top of that… We, tiny little apes on a blue ball in the infinite beauty and expanse of the cosmos, manages to throw something out of our atmosphere and travel all the way to this asteroid and hit it with extreme precision. God I love space… Wanted to be an astrophysicist for most of my life. And I start bawling sometimes just reading incredible discoveries about space and then also seeing images. There’s nothing like it.
