Reply to comment by Typrix in After DART: Using the first full-scale test of a kinetic impactor to inform a future planetary defense mission by EricFromOuterSpace

My favorite factoid about DART is that the impact was significantly more energetic than if they had literally made the entire impactor out of TNT, landed it on the asteroid and then blown it up.
