Yesterday and after a 7.5 million mile journey, NASA's DART spaceship crashed into an asteroid called Dimorphos, in a historic test of humanity's ability to redirect a planet killing asteroid from hitting the earth.

We won't know for a while if the the DART will in fact change the orbit of that asteroid which is the real test of if the experiment works.

But this was a small object about the size of a football field. Could we use the same tech to change the direction of a planet killer?

Do you feel safer now that NASA has successfully crashed a spacecraft into an asteroid?
