I had no idea what this movie was going to be about and I loved it! I'm such a sucker for space movies and this one hit right in the feelings too :D

Good stuff already in the comments. To give you a bit of a perspective. We currently know about 90% of all the big ones and about 1.3 million in total in our System, Asteroids and Comets together. (The majority of known asteroids orbit within the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, generally with not very elongated orbits. The belt is estimated to contain between 1.1 and 1.9 million asteroids larger than 1 kilometer (0.6 miles) in diameter, and millions of smaller ones. Others are called Trojans, those are asteroids that share an orbit with a larger planet, but do not collide with it because they gather around two special places in the orbit (called the L4 and L5 Lagrangian points). The last ones are Near-Earth Asteroids. These objects have orbits that pass close by that of Earth. Asteroids that actually cross Earth's orbital path are known as Earth-crossers.) The part in brackets is from the NASA Fact page. In the last years we have two veryx important Missions to Asteroids, DART and OSIRIS-REx. DART was the first-ever mission dedicated to investigating and demonstrating one method of asteroid deflection by changing an asteroid's motion in space through kinetic impact. On Sept. 26, 2022, DART impacted the asteroid moonlet Dimorphos, a small body just 530 feet (160 meters) in diameter. OSIRIS-REx was the first U.S. mission to collect a sample from an asteroid. It returned to Earth on Sept. 24, 2023, to drop off material from asteroid Bennu. The spacecraft didn't land, but continued on to a new mission, OSIRIS-APEX, to explore asteroid Apophis. Meanwhile, scientists hope the Bennu sample OSIRIS-REx dropped into the Utah desert will offer clues to whether asteroids colliding with Earth billions of years ago brought water and other key ingredients for life here. Oh and yes you were right with the postponing of two Space Missions to the Moon. The Artemis III mission to land four astronauts near the lunar south pole will be delayed a year until September 2026. Artemis II, a 10-day expedition to send a crew around the moon and back to test life support systems, will also be pushed back to September 2025. Yes, im a huge Space Nerd. Big thanks and love as always Mary for your reaction.
