NASA is deliberately smashing an asteroid in the name of planetary defense
The Double Asteroid Redirection Test spacecraft will deliberately crash into a near-Earth asteroid to try and knock it off course. Scientists at NASA and Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory hope the DART mission could help us save Earth from a catastrophic impact.

I won’t lie, describing it as ‘a golf cart crashing into the great pyramids’ definitely made me want to see this even more! (And don’t worry, when they knock it off course, Dimorphos will still maintain its orbit around the larger Didymos asteroid, so it won’t suddenly come hurtling towards Earth!)

You shouldn’t have clickbaited the title of this video like that. It’s misleading and panders to a population of conspiracy theorists and people who are already living in apocalyptic dread. It takes away from the hard work of the people behind this mission and what they are actually doing. That’s why you’re getting a thumbs down from me.

The point is the larger mother asteroid Didymos will have its course slightly changed through the perturbation of its satellite Dimorphos thru the collision. Didymos was no danger to the Earth and now within the next few years it will be. They should have left well…alone or at least better surveyed these asteriods before smashing into them. Are we sure they didn‘t include a nuke in the package…would they even tell us?

How galactically stupid, what will be the effect on the bigger asteroid it revolves around? These are the same guys who thought up nuclear power on warships that are inherently big slow moving targets in the activity they participate in, and other smart stuff they think is a good idea. These are the smart guys people.
Glenn Boyd
November 23, 2021 at 9:03 am
It’s very wrong to take ur first driving lesson in 2 cars. With a binary system, any thrust U attempt of the asteroid, will be affected by the moonlet it orbits. Akin to playing billiards ricocheting 3 balls instead of 2. A slight error of aim will magnify it’s wrong course.

Foolish to play experiments with an asteroid that does pass close to Earth, just a wobble of the small orbiting partner could make the larger mother asteroid change course to collide with Earth. Foolish game and arrogantly assuming their simulations will get it perfectly right, they don‘t know the density variation, geology and fracture characteristics of the target. As always with data…garbage in…..garbage out! We may have 2 years only to figure how to do this right after this self destruction mistake 🥺😞 They won‘t tell they screwed it up….so…for political reasons….you won‘t know it until its too late.
