{"product_id":"9781324131366","title":"How to Kill an Asteroid : The Real Science of Planetary Defense - Robin George Andrews","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere are approximately 25,000 \"city killer\" asteroids in near-Earth orbit. Small enough to evade detection, they are capable of large-scale destruction and represent our greatest cosmic threat. But in September 2022, NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission crashed a spacecraft into a city killer, altering the asteroid's orbit and proving that we stand a chance against them. In How to Kill an Asteroid, Robin George Andrews-who was at DART mission control when it happened-reveals the development of the technology that made it possible. In a narrative that reads like a sci-fi thriller, Andrews tells the story of the planetary defence movement, and introduces the international team of scientists and engineers now working to protect Earth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Robin George Andrews","offers":[{"title":"336 pages, 26 illustrations \/ 04\/08\/2026 \/ Aerospace \u0026 aviation technology","offer_id":57299842793847,"sku":"9781324131366","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9781324131366","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
