Is Bruce Willis on that Dart?

“Didymos and its tiny companion rock, Dimorphos.”
Wish I would have known about this earlier. Would have made good names for the kittens.

Technically a Plymouth Valiant, but close enough for a Dart Crash.

Cool.
Now do it with an explosive charge.
What could go wrong?

Seems like a rather scuzzy thing to do. I mean, how would we like it if the guys on that asteroid crashed things into our moon, hmm? Yeah, that's different, huh?

NASA's DART coverage NASA's DART death is primetime viewing on Monday, happening just a few hours before the big Monday Night Football matchup between the New York Giants and the Dallas Cowboys. I see, they're suggesting it's, "Asteroid impact night spectacular" followed by Monday night football. A TV extravaganza...Will there be riots if the impact is a dud? Of course, they may riot if it cracks the rock in half as well.

This kind of research and testing is long overdue.

I watched the NASA Livestream, which varied from amateurish to very good. The mission (so far) was a great success, but I could not believe NASA can’t come up with a better subtitle generator.
For example, “the Dart’s impact is going to be an incredible moment” became “the darts eat bugs is going to be an incredible moment”. Among numerous other thigh slappers.
“My name is Ian Carnelli...” subtitled into “My name is Young Colonel Lee”. Why do I think this generator translates into Korean and then to English...? (Have had some experience with the results of such, just with humans only involved.)
Ok, so the guy had a bit of an accent...
It did liven things up a bit. :-)
