holy crap, nasa still has funding? wow, i figured it'd all been pulled to buy more "smart" bombs

that is pretty sweet tho, impressive that they can actually guide a satallite to hit a piece a rock that far away that's moving that fast

I was most impressed to see that the impactor actually ran targeting systems its self to find the best tradjectory. I figured they'd have to do that all remotely.
AI in space .. next thing we know the impactors are going to target US!!!!!!!!1

Yeah. It's way cool... I heard one scientist say that it was kinda like shooting a bullet at another moving bullet and hitting it.
