NASA is getting ready to launch a spacecraft to test an experimental method to deflect near-Earth objects, and you can participate in the mission by testing your own planetary defense know-how.

The space agency’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission is designed to test a “kinetic impactor” technique for deflecting any asteroid or comet that might otherwise impact Earth.
