So did NASA not track the asteroid for the last year? Like they just crash a rocket into it and call it good right away? No follow up or deeper analysis? You'd think they would want to monitor it for any weird or unexpected behavior but instead they find out from a high school teacher?

People still think ~~tachyons~~ neutrinos move faster than light because a professional laboratory gathered data incorrectly one time... I'm not saying these high schoolers messed up their data collection, but it seems more likely than them discovering a new physical phenomenon
