NASA Successfully Crashes Spacecraft Into Asteroid▼

A NASA spacecraft rammed an asteroid at blistering speed Monday in an unprecedented dress rehearsal for the day a killer rock menaces Earth. The galactic slam occurred at a harmless asteroid 7 million miles away, with the spacecraft named Dart plowing into the space rock at 14,000 mph. Scientists expected the impact to carve out a crater, hurl streams of rocks and dirt into space and, most importantly, alter the asteroids orbit. We have impact! Mission Control's Elena Adams announced, jumping up and down and thrusting her arms skyward. IMPACT SUCCESS! Watch from #DARTMIssion s DRACO Camera, as the vending machine-sized spacecraft successfully collides with asteroid Dimorphos, which is the size of a football stadium and poses no threat to Earth.
