Since this was a “proof of concept” and even though it says that the asteroid was only moved “10’s of meters,” I am assuming this is still a pretty significant discovery as well as a big fucking deal?

I have no relevant knowledge to contextualize the figures put in the article, I would imagine that they can figure out from this trial run how big of a payload it would require to move an asteroid off a collision course with earth?
