Spacecraft launched on mission to smack space rock – BBC News
A spacecraft has launched on a mission to test technology that could one day tip a dangerous asteroid off course.
Nasa’s Dart mission wants to see how difficult it would be to stop a huge space rock from colliding with Earth
The spacecraft will crash into an object called Dimorphos to see how much its speed and path can be altered.
If a chunk of cosmic debris measuring a few hundred metres across were to collide with our planet, it could unleash continent-wide devastation.
A Falcon 9 rocket carrying the Dart spacecraft blasted off at 06:20 GMT on Wednesday from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.

France, Spain and Italy have been hardest hit by the heatwave so far.
But why is it so hot? What can you do to stay safe? And is El Nino to blame?
We answer some of your most asked questions about the heatwave sweeping Europe with our climate and health correspondents.
We’re also joined by our teams in Paris, Madrid and the south of France.

Tens of thousands of organisations have been caught out by a computer virus called WannaCry. The malicious software locks data away and demands a payment of up to $300 (£230) a time before it will restore scrambled files. In the UK, many hospitals fell victim and some health organisations diverted ambulances and cancelled non-essential services as they sought to contain and clean up the infection. Infections in more than 99 nations are being reported by security firms. It appears that the hardest hit are Russia and Spain.

A year ago, artificial intelligence was being sold as something close to science fiction — a technology that could transform society, cure disease, even reshape the global economy.
Today, the tone is changing. The companies leading the revolution are racing to the stock market — chasing billions in investment — while quietly confronting a much harder reality: AI is expensive, unpredictable, and far from profitable.
At the same time, some of the very people building this technology are warning we may be going too fast — even calling for a global pause.
And beyond Silicon Valley, a different story is emerging: growing public anxiety, political backlash, and the rise of what some are calling anti-AI populism.
So is AI entering its most pivotal moment yet — caught between financial pressure, technological risk, and political resistance?
AI Decoded Presenter Christian Fraser is joined by Financial Times AI Editor Madhumita Murgia, Thematic Strategist at Deutsche Bank Research Adrian Cox and Richard Coffin, Host of popular investing podcast ‘ The Plain Bagel’.

it wasn't a danger to earth but after you changet it's path ? also not only you didn't explode it in 100 small pieces but you also increased it's speed and now it might head towards earth, you don't know when you hit it where it might go. it's exactly like in that movie. Send a bomb to one that is coming to earth, not one that is minding it's own business, you trying to intentionaly get one to hit us?

You couldn't make this crap up. Actually they did at a cost to the public. A question for NASA, please could we mount a camera on the rocket facing up so we can see space? Not a frigging chance.
