american dream and what s left of it and to salvage what you can. and this is happening, you know, sporadically around the area. and, look, there are decisions that need to be made. there are short-term decisions and long-term, but sanibel, the causeway is down. you can t get there by car. so if you re going to be on sanibel island, you have to go back and forth by boat. for a long time. exactly. and that that bridge is going to take we were thinking, like, how could they put metal plates? but it is broken in so many places, it is going to be that way for a long time. i should mention, though, there is a community called babcock branch in charlotte county that is all solar. they have this solar ray, all of it survived the storm. minimal damage, full power. and so as we talk about the future, about rebuilding, and the resilience of living on the coast, wouldn t it be nice to not have to wait in a gasl line and have air conditioning and light and information right now
but, brianna, what is so extraordinary is that humans, people actually created what you re seeing there. that is a result of the dart crash, that dart spacecraft crashing into an asteroid about ten days ago. and so what you re seeing there, this is all captured by a telescope in chile is streaks of rocks and debris stretching out for about 6,000 miles away from that point of impact. and so it really just goes to show you that nasa was indeed successful in hitting that asteroid right there. it is all see all the dots and those chunks of rock on there? that is what is spewing and creating that comet-like trail in that image. nasa definitely made impact, we know that now from multiple angles. now we have to wait and see if they were successfully able to push that asteroid just slightly off course. i find that image so fascinating. i did not expect it to look exactly like an almond rocha. that s my opinion anyway. it is a dragon s egg.
The mission of NASA's DART spacecraft was to demonstrate the space agency's planetary defence system, which is designed to smash directly into an asteroid and deflect it away from causing a potential Armageddon-style doomsday collision with Earth.
