NASA Couldn t Stop Asteroid from Destroying Europe in Latest Simulation
✖
You win some, you lose some. The old adage rings true for most things in life, including NASA and its endless exploration of the final frontier. Case in point, the federal organization is actively running a massive mission on Mars in hopes of finding any sign of life. On the flip side, the outfit also couldn t manage to save Europe from an asteroid collision in a recent computerized simulation.
Over the course of the last week of April, scientists from both the United State and Europe joined forces in an online session led by NASA to simulate a potential apocalypse-causing asteroid. After all, you can never be too prepared right? The hypothetical scenario involved an asteroid barreling towards the planet that would make contact in six months. The scientists were then tasked to use that timeline in an attempt to make sure minimal damage was done to the planet.
