Video is time stamped to begin just before the impact. Pretty cool to watch the asteroid get bigger and bigger as the satellite moves toward it at 14,000 mph.

That is cool stuff, it is all happening ___________ miles away.
When will we know if it broke up or changed trajectory? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: That is cool stuff, it is all happening ___________ miles away. When will we know if it broke up or changed trajectory? many If I recall, this is anticipated to shorten the orbit of this asteroid "moon" by ~1%, as it orbits the larger asteroid. So, the task now is to continue to measure the orbit of this little guy. |

Alright, I’ll admit it, that was pretty cool. As some who is terrible at math, I am amazed that they can get two things to come in contact (let alone collide) over that sort of distance. I bet those people would hella good spotters or long range shooters.

So... they hit it like a pool ball, and hope that this will "deflect" its trajectory by 1%? Neat.. just hope it doesn't backfire

Quote HistoryQuoted: So... they hit it like a pool ball, and hope that this will "deflect" its trajectory by 1%? Neat.. just hope it doesn't backfire I mean, asteroid was ~500ft across. and it's flying through space, and the satellite we smacked it with was going 14,000mph. Doubt we could hit it dead center if we wanted to. Also, even going that fast, the momentum of it vs. the momentum of a 500' diameter rock is not even close to equivalent. |

Curiously, several of these asteroids we have seen up close, appear to be a loosely bound pile of rubble spinning through space. We need to go find the solid rock planetoids.

If research into deflecting planet killing asteroids isn’t valid use of tax money, then what is? Taxation is theft. Besides, most of the shmucks here won't stop talking about how they want a planet killer to come screaming right down on their heads (and their families heads). Granting them the mercy of ending their horrific American upper middle class existence. I mean, I'm very familiar with the concept that existence is pain and anyone who says anything else is selling something. But that's some serious narcissism when you say that you want to go out and take 93.87% of life on this planet with you. |

OK, 50 to 100 years from today I wonder if NASA will still be laughing and cheering when that very same asteroid after bouncing off of a couple of its neighbors and flying off course suddenly appears and pierces our atmosphere and wipes out our and every other species on earth.
