    The footage was done by my 1990s computer! Very realistic and people are eating it up

      ‘The probe hit the astroid with a force directly comparable to 15,000 cats, altering its orbit by 3 million potatoes’ Fascinating

      How many centimetres/inches/feet/meters is a golf cart, pyramid, refrigerators, football field??? You are not asking for “real measurements” you want size comparisons!

      It’s not a waste if it’s to defend our planet from getting annihilated somewhere in the near or distant future.

    This is just stupid. Is it not blatant obvious that man should not be messing with the cosmos at any point, Man can’t get it right on this planet and they already want to start blowing things up out there. It’s stupidity at the highest degree!!!

      Do you not realise that there are many asteroids in the solar system that are destined to impact earth, with results similar to what caused the extinction of the dinosaurs?
      Have you always been a short-sighted fool?

      Where do you think the 300m went? It was used in a government agency, people were paid to work on this.
