Have we tried shooting a rocket ship at the hurricane?

Honestly thought ab asteroid would look cooler than that. Not impressed.

Just our luck the very minute change in trajectory will actual cause this asteroid to alter its path and head directly toward Earth. Thanks a bunch Trump, you a-hole.

Last night, Nicolas Erasmus (SAAO) and Amanda Sickafoose (@planetarysci) successfully observed DART's impact with Dimorphos using the Mookodi instrument on the SAAO's 1-m Lesedi telescope.

Alright, I'll be that guy. That "footage" looks like cheap video game animation from the 90's.
Skeptics have reasons for being skeptic.

Give them a break man it’s 2022. They just don’t have the technology they did back during the moon landings

So, did it actually change the direction of the asteroid?

Did you want a camera crew to accompany the probe on a 10 month voyage to an asteroid nearly 7 million miles away?

No. All I'm saying is that it looks less real than fricking UFO footage.

The $325 million mission was designed to see whether “nudging” an asteroid can alter its trajectory, providing scientists with a valuable real-world test of planetary defense technologies.
It may take up to several weeks for NASA to confirm any changes in the space rock’s trajectory. The goal is to shorten the asteroid’s nearly 12-hour orbit by several minutes.

When people call these events Hollywood productions, I see the exact opposite. I think Hollywood has created false expectations of what the reality of our technology is. And that's fine with me, because once the vision is presented, at some point, the science finds a way to make it real.

They believe they've shortened it by 10 mins, but will accept (I think) 73 seconds.

And if it looked movie quality then y’all would say it’s fake
There is no “normal” for what it looks like to launch an object into an asteroid that’s 6 million miles away.
