Adam Dri­ver Asks NASA About Asteroids

[vid_tags]

The dinosaurs went extinct by an aster­oid impact many years ago. Here at NASA and around the world, there are teams of experts mak­ing sure we can actu­al­ly do some­thing about it if an aster­oid were to ever threat­en Earth. We’re study­ing these rocky, air­less rem­nants to bet­ter under­stand the ear­ly for­ma­tion of our solar system.

“65” actor Adam Dri­ver and NASA Plan­e­tary Defend­er Kel­ly Fast dis­cuss how we find, track, and mon­i­tor near-Earth aster­oids, as well as test tech­nolo­gies that could one day be used to pre­vent a poten­tial impact, should a haz­ardous aster­oid be dis­cov­ered in the future. The duo also talks about the OSIRIS-REx mis­sion and the aster­oid sam­ple the space­craft will bring to Earth this September.
