The video introduces a groundbreaking concept: using "penetrators"—small, dense, high-speed projectile-like devices made of tungsten that function like cosmic bullets. These penetrators are designed to be launched from a safe distance, traveling at approximately 70,000 km/h toward the asteroid. Unlike conventional spacecraft, these tiny metal projectiles can punch through or vaporize significant portions of the asteroid upon impact, creating destructive tunnels and fragments.
