Smash

I light of the recent events in space a program that is meant to find way to deflect/destroy incoming asteroids has picked a target to test on.

"The joint European/U.S. Asteroid Impact and Deflection Assessment mission, or AIDA, will work to intercept Didymos in 2022, when the space rock is about 6.8 million miles (11 million kilometers) from Earth, European Space Agency officials announced Friday (Feb. 22)."

However Didymos is not a single asteroid it is two.  They will be hitting the smaller of the two with one satilite while they are recording the information with another. They are doing this in hope of learning how to prevent large asteroids from hitting earth.
