Something that has not been shown yet on the networks.

This is an interesting site anyway.

A new kind of DART game, looking forward to see if the expected results were achieved.  Thanks for sharing...

I watched this live as it happened, and I am just amazed how they could be so accurate on such a small target in such a vast universe.

Yeah, I saw that yesterday. I'll be SHOCKED if there aren't a bunch of tinfoil hat people claiming it was done in a Hollyweed film studio.  D>K Steve

   There was one more frame than that, about 10% complete, of the picture it was transmitting as it hit!

p.s. Similar movie from 1965, Ranger 8, crashing (intentionally) into the moon. One important difference is that the moon is 2000 miles across instead of 400 feet!  And even with that and even only 250,000 miles away, they still managed to miss it on at least one attempt!

From what I found in the follow up they believe that they got pretty much everything they wanted-  Getting in position was right on, all the gizmos worked as planned.
