Yup, seemed pretty cool but not sure that the 4.5 years they spent on it was worth it.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yup, seemed pretty cool but not sure that the 4.5 years they spent on it was worth it. That is just the nature of space travel in the absence of warp drives, hyperdrives and teleportation. One other bit of trivia, this was technically SpaceX's first interplanetary mission. So I would imagine there was a significant cost savings compared to if this had been launched on an Atlas or Soyuz or Ariane rocket. |

The last pictures before impact are very interesting. Considering the low mass of the object seeing mostly regolith makes me wonder if the impact will make any change to trajectory as a whole or just scatter a whole lot of shit that will go in unpredictable directions causing far more chaos than we could ever anticipate.
