Adam Driver inquires about NASA's asteroid defense plan.

Actor Adam Driver sat down with NASA to discuss how the agency plans to prevent an asteroid apocalypse. NASA is currently on the hunt for asteroids larger than 140 meters wide, which are big enough to flatten a city. The agency's role would be to inform planning and give information about the asteroid, its impact location, and potential effects. NASA also has the ability to intervene and push such an asteroid away from our planet. Three NASA missions are filling the planetary-defense toolbelt, including the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART), which slammed a spacecraft into an asteroid called Dimorphos last year to see if that push could change its orbit around a larger asteroid.
