NASA will be attempting to knock an asteroid out of orbit in 2022
NASA is going to be making moves in 2022, folks. They’re going to attempt to knock an asteroid out of orbit. While I’m generally convinced we’re going wipe ourselves out, it’s nice to see NASA taking on cosmic threats to our existence just in case we don’t. Or, at least they’re trying.

Astronomers detect more RADIO SIGNALS from outside the Milky Way
Oh god! Can you imagine if some intelligent species really is blasting out radio signals from afar? Looking for fellow sentient beings? They would be so, so fucking disappointed in us. Or, maybe not. Who knows. That said, these radio signals probably ain’t from an intelligent life form. But! The source could still be dope as fuck. Like, a goddamn neutron star. See, I told you. Still dope.
