It is but to what outcome? Is this shit moving how they thought it would after the crash? Nothing would surprise me anymore. Apart from OP losing 10 pounds.

That was the desired outcome. To move its trajectory.

So can we now remove an Earth killing asteroid from our things to worry about? Asking for a friend...

I don’t think so. There have been many near-earth asteroids that haven’t been seen till literally the last minute. Then there is the problem when the asteroid comes from the direction of the sun

If the Tunguska meteor landed in a city like New York, you would be talking about nearly a million people dead if not more. So yeah, this is important.

I think they will calculate the exact trajectory change in the coming days after analyzing the data and satellites.

Why the f*ck haven't we gone back to the Moon?

I mean, seriously.

I use to enjoy his spacetalk show until i realized how much of a sellout he is and how pursuit of government grants at his observatory.

lol what? i think the common consensus here is that they didn’t fake it off the bat, they tried for many many years and when they finally realized it is going to be impossible they recorded a fake moon landing and shot the rocket into space

they have buildings full of blueprints that were saved according to tyson…..but they somehow “misplaced” all the telemetry data? :lol

Yeah, his answer here is bogus. The United States had to land on the moon first in order to beat Russia. The Cold War depended on it. You can fire a million rockets into space, but landing on a moon that's over 238,000 miles away is something else entirely.
