Small asteroids, like really small ones are weird and not the solid objects the Movies have led us to believe.

This is neither good nor bad news, it's just Science.

Imagine if we didn't know this and set off trying to deflect an asteroid we thought was solid but was actually a rubble pile, different set of tools needed.

Watching #DeepImpact and who should pop up but #JasonDohring as a pubescent proto-fratboy.

As soon as I saw that grin, I was giggling. He has a resting teddy-bear face.

Also completely forgot a young #LeeleeSobieski was in it, next to a very tadpoley #ElijahWood
