NASA DART

On Sept 26, 2022, DART struck the asteroid Dimorphos and shortened its orbit by 33 minutes — 25× the minimum needed to call a deflection a success.

DART altered Dimorphos’s orbit by 33 minutes 25× the minimum for success.

We can deflect an asteroid. We will watch this one. No one is yet funded to respond to the next.

Deflection needs 3–10 years of lead time. Capital must exist before detection.

Deflection missions require 3–10 years of lead time. Pre-positioned funding isn’t a preference — it’s physics.

Space Risk Bonds

Deflection-timeline bonds that release capital on a defined trigger.

FIG.05 — Readiness ProtocolDress Rehearsal

Apophis isn't the mission. It's the dress rehearsal.

Every close approach is a live drill for the day a deflection actually has to be funded and flown. These are the readiness checks — and where they still fail.

Will we have the financial architecture ready?

For one moment, the entire world will think about planetary defense.

Close the gap before the next one.
