Evening Edition: NASA Launches Rocket To Destroy Asteroid
NASA has launched their DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) mission rocket in an attempt to test humankind’s ability to alter the course of an asteroid that could cause devastation if it were to hit Earth. If a chunk of celestial debris just a few hundred meters wide were to hit the Earth, it could cause continent wide devastation. FOX’s John Saucier speaks to FOX’s Phil Keating about the launch and this test mission to prevent a future disaster.
