NASA and FEMA conducted an exercise simulating an asteroid impact on July 12, 2038.
The asteroid was detected with a 72% chance of hitting Earth.
Its size was estimated to be between 80-800 meters in diameter.
Such an asteroid could cause significant destruction.
The scenario allowed 14 years for preparation.
The exercise involved international agencies to assess global readiness.
Data from NASA’s DART mission was used to explore deflection strategies.
The exercise highlighted the importance of public awareness and preparedness.
This was purely a hypothetical exercise; there is no real asteroid threat in 2038.
The exercise aimed to improve future readiness for potential asteroid impacts.
