The DART spacecraft hit right on target last night. While it will be months if not years before we can properly assess the success of the test, the part we can control went well.
Data will now be gathered to see how much we affected the orbit of the asteroid. But we are one step closer to avoiding the fate of the dinosaurs.
(I think the crows are laughing at me in dinosaur).
(I, meanwhile, was busy talking about my work to college students...yay!)
