New ScientistAPR 2023
NASA’s groundbreaking work not only provides fascinating insight into the larger universe around us, but it could also save our very existence by developing a defense against potential asteroids headed toward Earth. There are many dangers beyond our planet that threaten our safety and could end life as we know it. Thankfully, NASA’s DART mission is discovering information and developing a plan that could save our planet one day.
NASA's DART mission could very well be vital in protecting the Earth from a catastrophic collision. However, the scientific community must be very careful with how it gathers and uses this otherworldly information as there could be unimaginable consequences. This technology also brings the possibility of deflecting asteroids into Earth's path on purpose by a bad actor as a weapon of mass destruction. Proper precautions must be taken with these celestial developments.
