When will we know if it has worked (deflecting the asteroid)?
Sh*t happensWhat happens if they hit the wrong end...?
I would hope that anyone able to do the calculatuions necessary to hit an asteroid where the projectile is in flight for 10 months has done the sums as to what happens afterwards. Of course, they might not have done, but my guess is that they probably have.If the deflection works, how great is the possibility of the asteroid's new course causing damage elsewhere, with major knock-on effects?
