Author: John Michael Godier August 3, 2026 Duration: 27:38

The Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission is directed by NASA. DART is a planetary defense-driven test of technologies for preventing an impact of Earth by a hazardous asteroid. DART will be the first demonstration of the kinetic impactor technique to change the motion of an asteroid in space.Can NASA use a magnetic shield to terraform Mars? Retiring Chief Scientist of NASA Dr. Jim Green believes so.
