NASA just crashed a spacecraft into an asteroid to change its course

NASA developed a new defense system to protect earth, in which a spacecraft is crashed into asteroid to change its course. This new defense system will not protect us from any humans on earth but from the dangers of space. NASA just experimented with this new defense system quite recently when a spacecraft was use to deflect a space rock from its original course. NASA used one of its own spacecraft and slammed the space rock in an experiment to check the new idea of a defense system against Asteroids. The collision happened around 7 million miles away from the earth with no danger of having any backlashes at all. NASA’s spacecraft named “DART” used for the collision. The spacecraft collided with the space rock at a speed of around 14,000 miles per hour.  Scientists had the idea to slam...
