Re: Grab the Popcorn!

I learned yesterday according to news sources that that Dart experiment results were successful in deflecting the asteroid.Going by these results the potential deflection of a near earth asteroid collision is proven possible.I guess I won't have to sleep under my bed tonight!!( lol) :mrgreen: Jerry
