NASA successfully launched a spacecraft into an asteroid last night in an attempt to change its orbit
“the first time in history humans have attempted to alter the path of an asteroid.” The now-
destroyed craft, which wasn’t named because, as Sauers puts it, it was “like an animal raised for slaughter,” was about “the size of a vending machine” and smacked into Dimorphos “at 14,000 mph.”, with perhaps just a 45-second delay, delivering an extreme closeup of an event happening 6.8 million miles away.
