NASA Begins Preparing to Stop 31\,000mph Asteroid From Colliding With Earth in Armageddon Scenario

The Armageddon… Yeah, it would probably suck about as much as the Michael Bay movie.????VO-NASA/asteroid??But that doesn’t mean NASA is going to wait until we only have 18 days before a world-ending asteroid hits to figure out how to stop it…????SOT-Armageddon??“We have eighteen days before it hits Earth.”????VO-Asteroid hitting earth??In fact they are already conducting drills to help them figure out exactly how we can avoid… something like this.????VO-doomsday??The 2019 Planetary Defense Conference poses this end-of-the-world scenario to international science agencies all over the world-????VO-NASA trajectory graphic??What would happen if there was a significant chance that an asteroid out in space… was going to collide with Earth.????VO-NASA redirect video??The scenario gives NASA and other agencies 8 fictional years to plan and execute a mission to stop its collision course… again.????SOT-Armageddon??“We have eighteen days before it hits Earth.”????VO-NASA Redireect video??They’re given little information about the incoming asteroid, but they do know it’s anywhere from between 330 and 1000 feet wide… and that it’s traveling at 31,000 miles per hour.

????VO-Space x/falcon heavy launch??But NASA might have an edge over other agencies as it has already announced its partnership with SpaceX to launch the Double Asteroid Redirection Test in 2021-????VO-NASA Redireect video??Where the solar powered DART spacecraft will collide with the Didymos asteroid in an attempt to alter its trajectory… the first mission of its kind.????VO-asteroids earth??But we can’t always spot them before they get here… so I wonder if NASA has a plan for what to do it they aren’t able to stop one?????VO-lips??My plan?

Bend over... and kiss my butt goodbye.??
