Can We Stop Asteroid Bennu?

I love how Osiris just shot a package at us then went on its way to another mission. It's amazing how just over a hundred years ago, we were just beginning to fly via the first prototype aircrafts.

Well done! It's nice to watch a reasoned discussion of a potential asteroid impact rather than the sensationalist click-bait you typically see.

Excellent treatment of the material. I've been following this topic for half a century, since I was a child, and it's exciting to see the developments in knowledge, detection and potential options for dealing with this threat. Thanks for resisting the temptations of shallow content and clickbaity titles! I'm subbed and I'll be looking forward to more videos like this one.

Superb mini documentary on this important subject. Well done!. It is reassuring to know that serious work is being done to try and mitigate such disasters.

OSIRIS ftw. Fascinating topic and great content. Thank you Dr. Miles.

Thank you for your clear and concise narration as well as a reasoned and informative discourse on this problem and our ability to take effective action. It also highlights the current impossibility of avoiding an ELE

I am another that is fed up of click-bait, this video is definatly NOT one of them, the information is well put together, very informative, easy to follow, Ive passed it onto my childern and grand children as they are the ones that need to watch and think as we dont live forever my time should be a lot shorter here than theirs. I know in some cases some are not spotted until they are almost on us, but even that sceince is getting a lot better. A new sub here. Thank you Dr Ben Miles for the time and effort that you put into this perfect video.

The whole point of Armageddon was that simply nuking the asteroid would fail miserably. Its pretty impressive that Osiris is reusable for continued missions.

wow this Osiris mission is certainly getting some work done, well done to the team behind it!

What an interesting and informative video. Thanks for sharing! Only could get through about half the video before I had to stop to like and subscribe.

Very informative and well produced. I appreciate that you didn't linger on widely known facts and yet included enough to inform the novice. An enjoyable journey (considering the subject) I look forward to your future endeavors. You have another subscriber. (Oh, lose the big red arrows. Tacky.)

Extraordinary video. Thank you for this video that isn't click bait. This was informative,easy to follow and a joy to watch.

The fact that people were more likely to be near windows during this event is tragic... Anything can happen, make the best of every day!

Incredibly well put together and composed video! Great visuals… I assumed this would have a few hundred thousand views by now… Great stuff!

Incredible content. I doff my hat to you, sir. I was afraid this was clickbait, but I was delighted to see the detail, realism and well researched content you presented. If only others on YT would be half as good as you.

Wow, first time seeing this channel & I loved this video, everything well explained w/out hysteria & very thorough.(Also made me glad I'm old & don't have to worry about Bennu!) Looking forward to combing thru recent videos in search of better understanding all the weirdness of the universe!

Now this is a cool video. Thanks for sharing!

I wonder what our technology will be like in 30-40 years from now. Which is pretty much the time I have left. Unless I somehow make it into my mid 80s. Which I doubt, unless I make changes to my lifestyle. I hope there's a technological leap during that time. Probably not as great but similar to the kind my parents have experienced. They were born in the 1950s.

Very engaging, and thank you for inspiring so many people across the world with scientific temper.

i truly enjoyed this clip - its just really scary when you realize that earth is a not-so-large target in a shooting gallery where the trajectories of objects are dictated in both circular and straight-line principles. Its reasonable that nothing could be More than 100% spot on but dude, if i ever could... 11/10 for this discussion 🙂
