October 7, 2024 from the spaceport at Cape Canaveral was launched automatic interplanetary station Hera.

She flies to the asteroid system Didym-Dimorph to see what happened after the collision of the DART apparatus with the small asteroid of this system Dimorph. In 2022, DART crashed into Dimorph at full speed to assess how much the spacecraft collision deflects the asteroid by transmitting momentum in a head-on collision.

Observations from Earth showed that the asteroid was moved. Before the impact, Dimorph made a revolution around Didymus in 11 hours 55 minutes, and then in 11 hours 23 minutes. This is the first time that humanity has deliberately changed the movement of a celestial body.

Now, if Hera thinks that everything is OK, then all dangerous asteroids can be moved without nuclear beams and Bruce Willis.
