The moment a NASA spacecraft was deliberately slammed into asteroid "Dimorphos" in order to see if such an impact could slightly alter the trajectory of the rock. This experiment was done to better understand what we might need to do if one of these space rocks was headed toward Earth and calculated to hit us in what might be a city or civilization ending event! The mission was a great success yielding much important data on the collision and it's effects. An asteroid (bigger than this one) was what did the dinosaurs in so you could say that this kinda makes us even?
