Adam Driver Asks NASA About Asteroids
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. Were 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 nearEarth 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 OSIRISREx mission and the asteroid sample the spacecraft will bring to Earth this September.
