NASA spacecraft successfully collides with asteroid – An American spacecraft successfully collided with the asteroid Dimorphous at 1:14 a.m. in the night from Monday to Tuesday. The collision was part of an experiment that was broadcast live by nasa.
Dimorphous, the space rock that was hit 11 million kilometres away from Earth, did not pose a danger to our planet. NASA wants to use the experiment to see if it is possible to push an asteroid out of its orbit through the universe. This could prevent such a rock from threatening the earth and humanity in the distant future.
That’s why a space probe flew towards the asteroid at a speed of 6 kilometres per second last night. The last meters could be followed live just before the collision. A camera on the spacecraft took pictures sent by NASA up to a few seconds before the collision.

Experiment may offer the world the chance to protect itself
The scientists who worked on the mission for years held their breath as the spacecraft moved ever closer to its target. The course that was set turned out to be the right one, because a few moments later the spacecraft crashed into the asteroid. “What a moment,” said the commentator of NASA’s livestream, as employees cheered and hugged each other.
“Now science begins,” Lori Glaze responded enthusiastically. She researches planets for NASA and called the mission a huge breakthrough.
“We’re entering a new era where we may have the opportunity to protect ourselves from something like a dangerous impact of an asteroid.”

Bulls eye! Great job NASA! The people who speak so negatively about technological progress here should realize that this is not a simple game of darts. Space travel is doing humanity a tremendous amount of good. That’s well worth the money. Consider, for example, the development of certain medicines, which is not possible on earth. Also think of satellites that monitor the weather and climate. Think of communication satellites that everyone with a TV, internet and mobile phone uses on a daily basis. Hopefully this will open some eyes.

Research and innovation costs money. What do you think the first computer cost? So this may seem pointless, but humanity is going to learn a lot from this.
