🤣🤣🤣 I immediately thought "Armageddon" at the end, then I see this as the first comment, dead!!!
maybe he will if they miss
The WILL OF BRUCR
The perfect moment for us to say "Skill issue" to dinosaurs
LMAO
Hahaha a big Dino L 😂
Well they probably died from a super nova
@@Ahmad_is_gamingIf they died from a supernova, then how is the Ozone still existing?
Literally
FART - falling asteroid redirection test
good one!
Yup if we actually had a science community with a sense of humor. It would be nice.
So they change the course of the astroid by farting
@@orangemanonsteroids8569we don't?
@@clown134 obviously not?
I'd like to let everyone know that the reason we don't just nuke asteroids is because it turns one problem into several billion problems that are all equally as dangerous as the original problem.
And irradiated!
@@PBAmygdala2021 I mean to be fair most of all space debris is already radioactive soooo not a terribly huge issue.
Won't tiny asteroid pieces just burn up in the upper atmosphere anyway? Also nuclear weapons push just like a regular collision, look up Project Orion.
@@lemonbread8019Well, for one that's assuming that a mayority of the asteroid was turned into "dust", which seems unlikely since the explosion wouldn't exactly be equally distributes across the asteroid. Secondly, those burned dust fragments could still heat up the atmosphere, as some think might've happened with the debree launched by the dinosaur extinction asteroid which then entered the atmosphere and burned up.
Thirdly, you'd need just unreasonable amounts of boom to make that happen
@lemonbread8019 Yes, small pieces would burn (or rather incinerat) apon entering the atmosphere. However, consider the fact that the vast majority of space debris is composed of either ice, metal (or assorted minerals,) or Higley condensed carbon (dimonds.)
The "burn" you see is actually the combustion of gasses being rapidly compressed against the surface of the debris.
Now consider that most af all space debris is water, and there you have it. It appears to burn up, but in reality, it's just being turned into vapor.
Just hope that you're not unlucky enough to get hit by a space Dimond (also known as asteroid poop)
I can't imagine the mathematical precision needed to hit a moving celestial object like that.
a good amount of precision, but we effectively do the same thing with other small moving objects: space stations
we just slow down prior to impact so we don’t slam into it
Hit it with what?
@@agro2612the thing that was flying towards it
I am just in my first semester of physics and let me tell you, i agree.
It's not that eazy to calculate that stuff😂
Asteroids usually have huge surface area enough to compensate small miss calculation or variations . It's not like we are hitting an asteroid only the size of a house or something , it's usually the size of a hill many times
This only worked because refrigerators are indestructible. They also perfectly preserve anyone taking shelter inside them from any heat or percussive force, from a nuclear detonation, for example. I know it's true because I saw it in a documentary about this older archaeologist bonding with his son while unraveling a mystery about crystal skulls.
I think I saw that movie too! I really liked the glowing skulls!
Btw, now I have installed a refrigerator in my bunker! :D
Ah, Indiana Jones The Curse of the Crystal Skull
"documentary" 🤣
Ah touche’
Lol :-)
Hits a refrigerator sized object from millions and millions of miles away with a smaller object. God I love science
Still won't be enough to save earth
@@aniketsrivastava1870it could though. especially if scaled up
@@aniketsrivastava1870 not with that attitude
@@aniketsrivastava1870you do know that
This refrigerator size astroid if hit the earth in massive speed
It can destroy miles area within seconds
Like what happened in Russia in February
The spacecraft was refrigerator sized not the asteroid
Human: *hits a rock and jumps and enjoys*
Alien 1 to 2: See. I told you that they're not intelligent beings
alien 2: No no send another rock, I swear they managed to land on one like 50 years ago. Actually, that's probably the problem. Send a waaay bigger rock.
@@jumpydino3015 I hope the bigger rock gets cancelled
The aliens do not know their the next rock
@@jumpydino3015 what if aliens sent asteroid to wipe dinosaur 🦕
@@TechTamizhan1
Alien 2 ”Bad news We just wiped out a 90% of that planet fauna and flora accidentally”
Alien 1 “Oh no Anyway”
This takes away a giant childhood anxiety from when I first learned about dinosaurs
You give me good vibes.
I'm so glad I discovered your channel a while ago. Also I can't get over the fact that you look like Natalie Portman! 😄💜
THANK YOU. I couldn't place who she reminded me of.
I was gonna say this 😅
She does look like her but her personality and brains make her more attractive !
Dude thank you. I couldn't think of who she looks like.
Thank god I'm not the only one.
Your videos are restoring my faith in youtube shorts and humanity. Thank you for making su h insightful and thought provoking content. ❤
I'm now picturing NASA scientists yelling "It's coming right for us!" South Park style.
So this is officially a success? Thanks for the info, I remember them saying it would take some time to know if it was successful.
Average KSP landing:
Enjoying the short docus!
This is so underrated like how are you not famous
@CleoAbram is quite famous but this channel is new and doesn't represent that. You can watch more videos of her on Vox.
Dude, that's Natalie Portman. She's super famous.
@@rock3tcatU233 Lol.. it's hilarious how every short vid of her has at least one Natalie Portman joke :P
Wish my science teacher looked like her.
Keep in mind this is great news for supervillains because they can no alter the path of the infinitely more near earth asteroids to hit earth.
Bro sniped 💀💀💀💀💀
Asteroid:I'm heading to Earth
DART:Let me hit you upside the head...
Imagine if this kills another civilisation which might be monitoring it and suddenly it goes into their orbit
Since we don't know about them, they don't exist. If they get destroyed, we will pretend they never existed.
You don't understand space, do you? That's like shooting a gun in a gun range in Texas and saying "imagine if this bullet ends up hitting Vladimir Putin"
@@lepperkin "Imagine"
@@christiedsilva7898 thanks mate

Just looking at that asteroid… How the surface of it is so foreign looking… The blackness of the void of space and the cosmos around it… And then realizing that this rock has been through some of the most amazing cosmic events, has been around for an unfathomable amount of time, and on top of that… We, tiny little apes on a blue ball in the infinite beauty and expanse of the cosmos, manages to throw something out of our atmosphere and travel all the way to this asteroid and hit it with extreme precision. God I love space… Wanted to be an astrophysicist for most of my life. And I start bawling sometimes just reading incredible discoveries about space and then also seeing images. There’s nothing like it.
That small asteroid redirected itself to a larger asteroid. Now the larger asteroid is headed straight to earth. Thanks NASA.
Alternative headline: NASA proves smartly smacking something changes it's attitude....
asteroids are often soft clumps of material
its not so simple as "push and it move"
sometimes u push and it doesnt move
u just make it a doughnut
testing like this is extremely important
due to the softness of most asteroids
most scientists untill now were pretty sure nothing could be done
if we spotted one, we would die, almost guaranteed
no methods to lessen the impact were known to work
untill this single test, people seem to believe we can just blow them up
we cannot
with a refrigerator, don't forget the refrigerator
Glad to hear Space Force is testing a global defense system... Wait, NASA is doing that?
Space Force monitor the asteroids and work with NASA to come up with solutions to threats, but NASA at the end of the day are the ones who launch the rockets and guide the missions.
I remember watching the DART mission on live TV. IT WAS AWESOME! Like getting to watch the Moon landing.
Aliens like Phew didn't hit us. Wait, a minute, what tha...
You look like someone. Some celebrity idk the name of. The one who acted in pirates of the Caribbean
do you mean Keira Knightley?
I can kinda see that as well
she also reminds me of Alicia Vikander who played in the 2018 Tomb Raider
kiera knightley
She's so beautiful AND smart
It's not fair lol
Astroid coming to kill us all:😡
My fridge: I know what I must do
I remember watching this live stream! :D
DART seems amazing! :D
The unintended consequences! 😂
Why can’t we mine asteroids?
Cost-benefit surely
We have to carry all our fuel with us when moving heavy loads... For now. Ion thrusters exist but they're not exactly boosters, very low thrust. Once we figure that out Peter Schiff better sell all his gold quick.
Not easy to get everything back to earth and hard to get mining equipment up there
If you watch the video from Kurzgesagt, it's hard but it is doable, the thing is you'll need to convince the gov first
Dangerous and impractical so far. They burn up when they land and out in space they're going so fast they'd just turn us to dust if it smacked into us
The alien planet sized kid scratching his head wondering where his ball went
Alien scientist somewhere theorizing about a new planet in his solar system because the orbit of his favorite celestial body changed inexplicably
She is so damn beautiful 😢
You're beautiful too ❤️
Plot twist: That asteroid will now bump into and send a bigger asteroid
And it's brothers
Boy the guys who made the servers on that mission sure are smart!
I can guarantee the DART team first thought of the name as dart then thought of words that would make sense in the abbreviation
Cleo is so pretty and smart!
Simp
I think that we are gonna interrupt a canon event of extinction with this😂
Aliens wondering why the comet didnt show up this year.
Imagine somewhere out there there's another planet that this asteroid is heading for and they hit it back and we just end up playing ping pong with this other planet (i know that's not how it works, but it's fun to think about)
You think way too much.
Thank goodness for scientists being able to play air hockey with asteroids, we might be saved from a mass extinction one day
and they say celestial theft is a victimless crime.
Imagine if that experimental asteroid is the one that goes on and smacks on another asteroid and the process continues untill eventually it collides with an asteroid which then changes its path towards Earth and that will eventually be the end to humanity...
Space is too big and empty for that too be remotely likely.
@@jjbarajas5341Yeah, the average distance of every asteroid in the main belt is 1 million kilometers apart from each other. And that's the main belt, most threats are called Near-Earth Object, that's usually < 1 km in diameter.
Imagine if you writing this comment caused you to drop your phone causing you to scare a nearby butterfly causing the butterfly to flap its wings causing the wind to slightly change direction causing an apocalyptic hurricane in 5000000 years
It's the undetected ones we have to worry about then.
And most of them are undetected.
I guess, but the rock the size of a pea isn't gonna kill us all
That's true. The undetected ones are the smaller ones that are near the Earth. We have almost no issue detecting large asteroid but the one under 1 km is difficult, especially the ones coming from the direction of Sun, ultimately we only found out about it when it was only days to hours away from collision/passing by, or we were too late by then.
@@highqualitygrunt8195That would meteoroid, not asteroid as the subject in this topic.
The undetected ones are too far out of range or too small. In any case, if we can't detect it then it's probably not going to kill us
The smack was personal
Nasa be smacking the asteroids cheeks to another orbit💀
First
Asteroid
Redirection
Test
**smacks asteroid** "Go away >:("
Asteroid: "sorry..."
Not going to lie that picture looked like the silver surfer was coming out I'm like whelp I can finally meet my boy norrin lmfao
Dimorphos: OW, WHAT FOR HOLY JUPITER FOR THE LOVE OF SUN-
Plot twist they changed the trajectory just enough that the asteroid we will have to deflect in the future will be the very asteroid they ran the Dart on.
really taking inspiration from history with this idea
Imagine you're an alien expecting your science experiment to die by a rock you threw and the experiment just slaps it like its a mosquito
More like slap it with a mosquito
I have become very fond of you Cleo.
Man you guys actually need to control yourselves ☠️
Now imagine if this astroid will hit another habitable planet possible. Good job 🤣🤣🤣
Great content 👍
Imagine that astroid hits some planet later wiping out it's dinosaurs 😂
Love your content!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
That extraterrestrial planet that asteroid crushed on: "Humans👽"
Asteroid:Hey whats that thing-
_smack_
Imagine that the change of course of that asteroid directs it to a planet that has life and the life got extinct because of that asteroid hit the planet.
"We have Impact!"
*Asteroid still 50km away*
I played Asteroids as a kid, I clearly know how this works.
You Tube Is Recommending Me Every 3rd Short From Your Channel.
"Don't Look Up." NASA and Johns Hopkins Applied Physics lab did a great job.
somewhere in outer space on a planet faraway: mass extinction event detected.
I love these videos! I would like to ask you to include the metric units in the next video as well
Asteroids: bro why earth throwing rocks now 😢
It was so nice to see that Armageddon reference
And that's how NASA pushed the Asteroid on its Villian arc. ☠️
Now imagine the same asteroid hits another one and we said a chain reaction
Bumping!
Calculated.
What a save!
What a save!

i will change my path too if i saw a refrigerator coming at me at 14,000 mph
*Well yeah of course we can change their trajectories but for that to happen, we have to calculate the best possible angle and the amount of force needed for them to change their course of direction.. Unlike Stars or big planets, which have a big force of gravity in themselves and which is near impossible to even shift them one single inch, objects like asteroids, are just floating in the universe, either orbiting something or following a path due to an impact that they may have had during their lifetime, which can be changed by colliding/impacting stuffs against em, with enough strong force. So we have to be very precise on this so that we could do this on just one go, to be on the safe side..* 🤗
Cleo is on fire ! love these clips .... love it.
BUTTERFLY EFFECTTTTTTTTT
That's a flashlight 🔦 😏
NASA: "Call me daddy." 👋
Dimorphos: "Daddy!"
NASA: "You've been a bad asteroid."
I love your videos! The smile you give with your eyes 😍🙏🏻💫
Imagine on another planet, people minding their own business suddenly a asteroid comes and hits them, it's a cannon event.
Cleo, I sincerely love you. Every time we change the course of a celestial body, we endanger ourselves further. My 2 cents.
That Asteroid that went to hit another planet: 😦
Sounds like a space version of pong.
I watched it with my mom and had to explain the physics of it to her. It was honestly hilarious cause she asked and now shes getting a physics lesson.
I remember watching that on a livestream it was cool as hell
Love your videos!
Funny how we're earth's worst enemy yet it's only hope.
Wow
Oops now the asteroid we hit hit a bigger asteroid which hit a bigger asteroid which hit a planet killer and it’s headed right at us!!
Watched that live. It was amazing.
So if I sent a fridge at an asteroid fast enough I could save the world, noted.
Imagine smacking an asteroid that wasn't even going to collide with Earth just for the asteroid to do pinball and actually collide with Earth
Moments like these confirm the perseverance and capability of our species as a whole!
This scared me more. Imagine moving an asteroid out of its path only for it to another bigger asteroid.
The bigger asteroid then does a series of domino effect and now we have tons of asteroids hitting us from different directions and different times
The smack sound😭
Now imagine if that asteroid we hit, comes back behind us, very silently, and wipes us all out.
That small change could cause a chain reaction and send something big in our way
