Asteroid Pool

The target has been finalized for the DART mission, which will be a test of concept to see if we can actually redirect an asteroid.

The method is simple: We're going to fly a robot into it.

The ESA has taken on the role of launching a probe, Hera, which will examine what the DART mission did, verify whether it worked, etc.

If this works we may have a plan to deflect the next citykiller (or planetkiller) before it hits Earth. Of course, we still have to track them all.
