NASA just slammed into an asteroid
Tom Statler, program scientist stated that: NASA broadcasted the $330 million carefully orchestrated collision that gave viewers a deer-in-headlights experience. Using a camera on the spacecraft, the team of scientists and engineers together with the general public, were able to watch it. The good part is that the first planetary defense exercise was successful. Mission managers further stated that the spacecraft was just 18.5 yards off from the dead center when it struck. However, DART was truly a triumph as it was able to shove the asteroid off its trajectory.
