On September 26, 2022, NASA's golf cart-sized DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) spacecraft intentionally crashed into a distant asteroid. The spectacular collision, observed by telescopes worldwide, was NASA's first practical attempt to alter the path of an asteroid. The $325 million mission was part of the space agency's overall planetary defense strategy to protect Earth from the impact of an errant space rock.

        Not exactly, Meteors still exist.

          They did it so an asteroid wouldn't crash into the earth, to change the asteroid's orbit, to study important images of the crash, and see how DART affected the asteroid.

              Dang that might be a very good idea for later expeditions.

                    dude they completed the mission all though the astroid would not even come close to the earth the gole was to hit the astroid to see if they could do this in the future to save earth when one actually hit earth

                      I don't thing this was such a great idea. There are probably a bunch of parts all over the place an it will add more to the parts that are already up there. Plus, 325 million dollars just to crash it? 🤔

                        I think 325 Million is a good price to put on more than 7 billion lives.

                            For scientific purposes, it's worth the whole 325 million! Now scientists know more about this!

                                    Are you kidding me, 325 mill. is nothing for the possibility to literally redirect an asteroid

                                    It was an experiment. Sacrifices are needed to make sure an asteroid doesn't destroy earth in the future. On top of that, Nasa's budget for 2022 is 24 billion dollars.

                                      Brah it's space why do you care about parts being everywhere, plus $325 million is worth it if this technology can save THE LITERAL EARTH.
