Scientists Confirm That Dart's Impact Method Can Be Used To Protect Earth From Planet-Killing Asteroids

NASA's DART spacecraft took out over 1,000 tons of rock from its target asteroid. Scientists confirm that DART's impact method can be used to protect Earth from planet-killing asteroids. As long as we get at least few years of warning time, though a few decades would be preferable, we will be able to intercept future asteroid threads.
