Scientists Say We Should Blow Up This Dangerous Asteroid Before It Gets Here

futurism.com Victor Tangermann 2025-10-08 14:14:08

In 2022, NASA intentionally rammed a spacecraft into a small asteroid at 14,000 mph, knocking it off course. The goal was to demonstrate a proof of concept for keeping humanity safe from a space rock heading toward the Earth. Now a group of scientists, including ones from NASA, is exploring options for a different near-Earth space rock, dubbed 2024 YR4, which the agency’s Center for Near Earth Objects believes has a mere 0.00081 percent chance of hitting us — but a much larger four percent cha

It takes a lot of computing power to run an AI product – and as the tech industry races to tap the power of AI models, there’s a parallel race underway to build the infrastructure that will power them.
