What if it’s not actually a test?
Then thank goodness they’ve discovered the astroid and have decided to do something about it! I hope it works.

@Mr. Bug Pop I love the idea of a planetary defense system
@YJ Overlander Canada It is a great idea that might just extend our existence on this planet some time in the future 👍🏼
@Mr. Bug Pop NASA isn’t the only space agency engaged in such projects. There’s a few coming up with solutions now
