Don Quixote ride again

Quote
The European Space Agency (ESA) has selected two asteroids as potential targets for a mission aimed at deflecting a nearby space rock.

After a comprehensive review, the space agency selected the near-Earth objects 2002 AT4 and 1989 ML as primary targets for its upcoming Don Quijote mission. The mission will send two spacecraft, dubbed Hidalgo and Sancho, to an asteroid in hopes of slightly deflecting the space rock’s path.

I believe truth and principle do matter. If you have to sacrifice them to get the results you want, then the results aren't worth it.
