Is NASA Prepared for a Catastrophic Asteroid Impact?
As scientists continue to monitor the skies for potentially hazardous asteroids, concerns are growing about the possibility of a catastrophic impact on Earth. Will NASA be prepared to prevent a disaster if an asteroid is heading our way? With advancements in technology, such as NASA’s DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) mission, there are promising developments in our ability to defend against asteroid impacts. However, questions still remain about the effectiveness and readiness of these measures in the event of a real threat. How far along are we in our preparations, and what can be done to ensure that our planet is adequately protected from a catastrophic asteroid impact?
