Want to know:

6.20. In Wikipedia, look up "Double Asteroid Redirection Test" and answer this question: What was the objective of the Double Asteroid Redirection Test?a. To use an oil rig drilling crew to plant a nuclear device to split an Earth-bound asteroid in two such that both halves miss the Earth to either side by 400 km (oh wait, that is the solution used in the movie Armageddon).b. To use a nuclear device to blow up an Earth-bound comet into small enough pieces that they burn up in our atmosphere (oh wait, that is the solution in the movie Deep Impact).c. To drop a nuclear device (hand-held no less) into a volcano to cause a chain reaction of M16+ earthquakes (which itself would break the planet) that changes the angular inertia of the Earth, thus causing it to move out of the way of an incoming asteroid (oh wait, that is the solution used in the movie Asteroid vs Earth - seriously!).d. To deliberately crash a space probe into the asteroid moon Dimorphos to assess the future potential of a spacecraft impact to deflect an asteroid on a collision course with Earth.
