Congratelatios !!! It is werry seriozuly STEP . …
an asteroid doesn't hit Earth Volcano's will further erupt and we haven't figured out how to stop Volcanos aside from Nukes
Have to wonder about the "journalists" choice of words. "Slamming into a harmless asteroid". Next up on the political scene "Asteroid Lives Matter". Next headline, "How NASA attacks and violates Harmless Asteroids."
Such small satellite won't have much impact
Lies 😂
😂😂😂
Stanley Kubrick did it better
we couldnt send a spacecraft up 2 weeks ago but we can hit some rock 7 million miles away with precision. lol yea ok. and great simulation
CONGRATULATIONS NASA!! Go DART!!❤🤍💙
Wow NASA is protecting us from CGI images lol.
NASA now give us more money.
No one believes you LIES.
They must be joking to expect us to believe that this is real! They are laughing at the masses for being able to get away with a single picture being zoomed on and shaken about, with not even bothering about the shadows. What are the chances that this nonsense just hit the camera?! The heliocentric alone is a lie and if they can fool you with it, they will be able to fool you with anything else.
Good job NASA you are really the hero now imagen using nuclear with Dart missile
Dumb idea!!!! Now it's going to go off course and we're going to get showered with a bunch of "f-ing" rocks!!!
Thank you, does NASA give out baseball mitts to catch the fallen debris?
God bless 🙏
Hey smart people stop moving trajectories everything is balanced. Your guesses through time has gotten us in trouble before
NASA would never lie… SMH
I'm getting word out of the Peruvian intercontinental telescopic diagram that yes, the asteroid previously posed no risk to earth but the NASA spacecraft actually has knocked it on course with earth.
Utter garbage
Save the planet from the asteroid but what about climate change???
that egg duck with magnet mud out side? right?
Laser is better
Wasted money
The ultimate irony would be if they diverted this harmless asteroid directly into the path of earth… whoops 😅
What happens to the other rock that it was going around ?will it change it’s path ,because there’s nothing there to stablelise it?
more like how to weaponize an asteroid.
Bullseye ,
Chances are they let that asteroid hit Russia on purpose…you really think Americans would help Russia. 😒😒😒
The Nation of Islam (NOI), the largest Black nationalist organization in the U.S., has maintained a consistent record of antisemitism and bigotry since its founding in the 1930s.
During his 40-year tenure as the NOI’s leader, Louis Farrakhan has built a legacy of divisiveness as one of the most prominent antisemites in America. He has also espoused anti-LGBTQ+ and anti-white bigotry, as well as a range of conspiratorial beliefs. CNN MSNBC BBC ABC
Nahh they should’ve just left it alone. Earth needs to just have animals on it tbh.
doing this will only offset the harmony and balance of what naturally occurs out there which will have an impact on all of the universe
They probably pushed it right into the path of Earth 🤣 Don't Look Up!
Stage nasa cheering team. I was working for them Making coffee for the crew
Just ask the dinosaurs…
I think they just offset the asteroid into a collision course with earth 🌍
June 30,1908: Tunguska Asteroid Explosion in Russia. 12 megaton power. 8 years before I was born. Alice! I'm hungry.
So fake lol
I think that they crashed a billion dollar equipment into a meteor and wasted billions of dollars then after that they claimed that it was a success cos they were actually trying to divert its course
this is what humanity should focus itself on instead of greed and evil. therefore psychopath leaders like putin, etc… should be removed from power they are the cancers of humanity from time immemorial!
"You can ask the dinosaurs about that"
Fact is Asteroids or meteorites will not hit earth not in billion years! So Don't simply shoot them or else the Catastrophe will happen because of your fking mess!
“It’ll take a week or more for nasa to analyze data to tell if it was successful.”
1 week later: haha it’s heading towards us now 😅
Past low
earth orbit.
I hope they know how to play pool right and did not clock up this one.
Don't look up
