1
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:05,364
In a galaxy where asteroids have\h
pummeled planets for billions of\hyears,

2
00:00:05,576 --> 00:00:08,810
now one planet strikes back.

3
00:00:09,672 --> 00:00:12,528
For the first time in our planet's history,\h\h

4
00:00:12,528 --> 00:00:15,600
NASA will test an asteroid deflection technique.

5
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:20,688
It's the first planetary defense method of\h
its kind.

6
00:00:22,375 --> 00:00:27,492
NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection\hTest test will intentionally ram itself into\han asteroid

7
00:00:28,182 --> 00:00:30,552
and alter its orbit forever.
 \h

8
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:36,180
At the crossroads of science fiction and reality,\h\h

9
00:00:36,180 --> 00:00:41,160
DART is part of our plan to defend planet\h
Earth against potential future impacts.
