DART Nudged An Asteroid Yesterday, were you moved?

In order to deflect the future far-off asteroids, (which even now, still hurl toward the Earth), NASA, ESA, and all international space technicians of Earth cooperated to impact Dimorphos, a small asteroid.

DART stands for Double Asteroid Redirection Test, and the jubilant faces of all the space nerds at impact were indeed wonderful to see.

There is nothing better than seeing the elation of giddy faces realize the ecstasy of joy when cooperation reaches its climax that was years in its creation.

We saw it in July, too, when the JWST, Jay Dub, released its first stunning photos of our new world — the one with all new data.

This kind of thing can give us inspiration. We still have super bright, and more importantly, super cooperative people on our planet. Doing good stuff. Making hope.
