NASA is performing a first-of-its-kind experiment, slamming a spacecraft into a small harmless asteroid millions of miles away. The mission is to determine if NASA can deflect and reroute an asteroid if one were actually on track to impact Earth. NASA insists no asteroids are currently heading this way, but they aim to be prepared just in case one does.

A mini will be flattened by a truck ya are pathetic nasa
Asteroid minding its own business suddenly gets sucker punched by Earth. 🚀🥊🌑😭
The folks running NASA are laughing at you for believing this.
Just watched the mission…..Apparently all the stars dissapeared during this mission, hmmmm.
Liberal media, aircraft don't fly in space.
Real as it gets
if magnetic restriction & manipulation tech can control plasma base material in the atom world as in Magnetic confinement fusion this!!!! is the tech we should be researching for ELE (extinction level event asteroid) deflection from the direct contact with earth. We could manufacture it on earth or close to earth which would be far easer maintained or upgraded. I shall leave the how too for young scientist's to weather the details. Not everything is solved by just breaking up the asteroid with nuclear explosion deflection system's. For ever reaction their is an equal opposite reaction which could quiet possibly be worse than the original out come.
I hope the person that wrote that headline didn't have any input into the experiment.
Omg very very joke news and mission
Yeah let's send a giant tampon into space.
More money wasted thinking we can control the universe

The planet is 4.5 billion years old dummy humans could be extinct tomorrow and the planet still would be here
Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteers be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit any porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef,but the wrod as a wlohe. Haert if you Raed this peferct !
They do not understand the consequences of a little bump in galactic terms
Does anyone know why dozens of these comments are just variations of "lol. It's going to hit us after this happens". ?
Save planet…well lets hope it goes wrong and humanity is swiped off the earth…humans are dangerous enough, more terrifying then any asteroide
Stupid lmao
Yeaaa right lol str8 outta hollywood
Spending millions/billions into this project for something that might happen hundreds or thousands of years from now, without any guarantee that it will work. My question is why not spend it on actual problems that are happening now in planet earth? Some kids today woke up with hunger and thirst and will probably die in a week of starvation with no medicine. 😞 but hey who am I to think of the small problems in this vast universe.

THEY ARE ONLY SAYING ITS AN EXPERIMENT SO WE DONT PANIC!!!
👀 First off, I hope that’s not their ONLY plan…that asteroid is going to DECIMATE whatever they plan to put in its path. You gotta be kidding me….how serious is this❓not much optics on this at all…😳
Please let it hit us, we need to go extinct 🤣
Excellent timing. Doesn‘t look at all like an ICBM.
This asteroid is now going to hit us thanks to NASA
bollox, as if a bomb can shift a lump as big as that!
At least NASA is still thinking about contingency plans! 👏🙌👏🙌👏
You forgot to mention "Deep Impact".
They're not diverting it they're moving it to make it hit Earth they want Armageddon
i thought we had rail guns
How did they put the aircraft in space? And how does it manoeuvre towards the asteroid without an atmosphere?
All its gonna do is make a tiny crater that asteroid is gonna say "you call that a punch?! I've been hit way more than that!"
