| Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 70661422 United States07/02/2017 10:45 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | In October 2022, as Didymos makes an approach near Earth, NASA will launch a refrigerator-sized spacecraft towards the asteroids, aimed at Didymos B, the release said. When the DART spacecraft and the asteroid collide, the spacecraft will be traveling at a staggering 3.7 miles per second. |

Matter of fact when they say they can do this in 2022, they already have it operational right now  |

You know you run the risk of bumping it into a 'planet killing trajectory' the next time round. Reckon that's too far into the future to worry about? A large portion of you will be around to see it. You seem to work well together when you're fucking stuff up... so, who knows .... Good luck to you |
