NASA is about to crash a spacecraft into an asteroid to test whether we could in future knock a dangerous one out of collision with Earth.

Will it go according to plan you think?

I hope they don’t knock INTO a collision with the Earth. That would just be stupid.

What do you mean bullshit? it really is happening they are testing it now, it's about to launch.

Waste off money

As anything big anuff to be dangerous is going to be plant sized a tiny space ship isn’t going to knock it out the way

May work for smaller ones but what’s the point they just get broken up by or entry atmosphere anyway like they do now

We get hit with small metros every single day we just don’t see them as they dust before they even hit the ground

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction is Newtons 3rd law... in the vacume of space it has a better than probable chance I'd have thought as the trajectory only needs to deviate by microns, but to deviate where...

Have you seen Greenland on Netflix!? I don’t want none of that sh*t happening tbf.

Hopefully the Yanks will be able to build a rocket in a couple of months with the likes of Bruce Willis in it to drill into it with a nuclear bomb and save the day, just like in Armageddon like, if ever a gert big bugger of a space rock hurtles towards the Earth.

Nope but I have sat and watched the Hubble telescope live when they had it on

You could see tiny rocks shooting past it right for us all the time

What about Planet X though? That’s some scary sh*t. Was going to rip the Earth apart in 2012 according to some prophecies .. what if someone just got mixed up in a transposition error and they *really* meant 2021!?

I'm an Astrophysics nerd, it can work because when you take into consideration the distance they hit the asteroid from it can throw it off and thus leave our planet unscathed.

Something most people don't know, because Jupiter has the second largest gravitational pull in our solar system, it is responsible for preventing several asteroids from reaching Mars and Earth and instead absorbs a fair amount of asteroids.

Again a big part will depend on the distance they make contact with the asteroid as well as the angle of contact and the direction they hit the asteroid from.

Exactly the things was ment to be 10x the size off earth no tiny space ship is knocking it off corse that’s my point

Anything small anuff to be knocked off corse by a spaceship would just get burned in or atmosphere anyway so it’s pointless and a waste off money

Yes, take an asteroid in a stable orbit around another asteroid. Knock it out of that orbit and watch what happens. What could go wrong?
