Very cool! Thanks for the heads-up.First experiment in asteroid deflection.

Hoping the live feed will be like camera footage from the nose of an optically guided missile, but probably not...
Right? I mean, would it have killed them to strap a Go-Pro to the rocket? And maybe have a second rocket follow it to record it on its cellphone and post it on Instagram?Second thought should be NASA TV.
The asteroid is moving away from earth, so no chance of that.
And blame it on Trump, Putin and climate change.
Really!? With our luck considering we ended up with Brandon as president the laws of physics will change just to allow it to happen.
He'll have to issue an EO on gravity.
That was way cool!! Thanks for posting this. I hadn't heard anything about it. You should post it in this thread! I wonder how MOA would translate for a target the size of that small "asteroid moon" at however many millions of miles away that thing was.
World record long shot

That was cool. I remember (vaguely) the math required to work out the orbital mechanics in order to just hit anywhere on the moon with a rocket launched from Earth. Granted, (modern computers) >> (oze with a calculator), but holey moley, hitting a 525 foot sized object 7 million miles away just blows my mind.
That's what I'm getting at. If 1" = 1 MOA at 100 yds., what does 525' = at 7 million miles? Pretty sure, that's sub-MOA accuracy.

And the bullet (i.e. satellite) was traveling at 4 miles a second! That's 21K feet per second! Had to be a double err triple charge in that shell casing....
