NASA successfully crash lands spacecraft into an asteroid

Pretty f'n amazing.

[SATAN]

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.

NASA confirms that the universe's existence is painful

[Overdrive]

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.

We never went

[SATAN]

Seems like it was successful.

[highwhey]

[Nanners]

NASA is just Satan with a t-minus

[ArbitraryWater]

We never went

I think DeGrasse Tyson answers that skepticsm best here:
