Today's WSJ article about NASA's asteroid defense

Post by bhamil »

Today's WSJ had an interesting article titled: NASA's Asteroid Defense Mission. It's about the $324mm DART mission to deflect distant asteroids that might be on a collision course with Earth. Feel free to call or text me if you cannot locate this and I will send you a copy.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Thanks for sharing!

It is very interesting to see whether a small probe can deflect a huge rock. Also, I hope it deflects the astroid in a trajectory away from earth's orbit!
