Thats an unfair advantage.active guidance
ahhh, but i suppose some might point out the target asteroid was astronomically small.In astronomical terms, hitting the asteroid was basically at point blank range.
There's a whole Flat Earth Society.In astronomical terms, hitting the asteroid was basically at point blank range.
I’m waiting for a astrologer to file a lawsuit against NASA for changing the trajectory of the asteroid which will supposedly alter their astrology charts. Think I’m kidding. The last time something like this was done on a comet, some loony tunes astrologer tried suing the space agency that slammed a impactore on said comet. Flat Earth anyone ?
I bet if you calculated cost per mile, the 4 mile guys is still cheaper!You know they were reading all you guys drooling over that dude who landed one after 69 shots and thought; bitch, please... watch this $#it
You think? NASA ‘s been working on this for over 8 years.I bet if you calculated cost per mile, the 4 mile guys is still cheaper!
NASA hit that asteroid in one shot
So while there are homeless, hungry veterans in the USA it’s ok to spend untold amounts of money on ‘nudging’ an asteroid into a different orbit that may in a zillion years deliver a ‘ dinosaur fate’ (which not everyone agrees that’s what happened) to save mankind? And if so where is the contribution from other countries?Since nobody mentioned why they did it…….
It is a effort in verifying that if they detectn asteroid that is indeed on a collision course with Earth, and that the collision would have catastrophic consequences, a small “guided spacecraft“ could nudge into a different orbital trajectory causing it to miss earth.
Is this a worthwhile project?
Ask the Dinosaurs Of the late Cretaceous Period.
They are still around, two were “left behind” to keep the website up, at least that is what I heard.If the heavens gate folks were still around they woulda sued for missing their ride
