The planetoid looks like dirt and rock mixed together. Just how hard is the asteroid? Did anyone get a picture of the impact?

It’s probably now on a collision course for earth.

“Ideally, if impacted early enough, even the kick from a small spacecraft can deflect a large asteroid enough to miss the Earth.”
Even if we can’t impact it early enough, with a later impact we may still be able to deflect a large asteroid enough to make it strike China.

We should have been experimenting with this a long time ago.
