Let's hope the worst will be just a meteor shower, just seems like a terrible idea. via Sputniknews In September 2022, a NASA spacecraft, launched as part of the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission, is scheduled to hit a space rock with the equivalent energy of three tons of trinitrotoluene (TNT). According to a report by the New York Times, the 1,100-pound DART spacecraft, which is expected to be launched in 2021, will target Didymos, two asteroids that travel around the sun. The plan is for DART to slam into Didymoon, the smaller of the two asteroids. The purpose of the mission is to determine whether humanity could potentially divert asteroids into other orbits, preventing them from striking Earth. "DART is a planetary defense-driven test of technologies for preventing an impact of Earth by a hazardous asteroid. DART will be the first demonstration of the kinetic impactor technique to change the motion of an asteroid in space," NASA explains on its website. "The DART
