FYI - Watching CSPAN and they are showing the DART spacecraft approaching a binary asteroid system, it is going to crash into the smaller one, in 18 minutes.

And after it hit the screen went red. Thought I was watching ESPN+.

Should we be worried?

No.

It's just a test to see what happens and if we can adjust the trajectory of asteroids with impacts.

Can they use their one "Barney Fife" rocket outside the stadium as protection? If it misses the asteroid and takes our Bowling Green so be it.
