We've desperately needed some science that wasn't focused on our impending doom, and hot damn is NASA pulling through! This coming Monday (Sept. 26), NASA will attempt to smash a spacecraft into an asteroid to see if we can veer it off course.
Wait, I'm worried that didn't sink it. They're gonna CRASH A SPACECRAFT INTO A FRIGGIN ASTEROID!!! And of course they gave it a catchy name: DART. Stands for Double Asteroid Redirection Test. THE FUTURE IS NOW
