Experts from NASA and other organizations recently completed a mock test to assess their ability to respond to a hypothetical asteroid potentially crashing into Earth in 2038 .
The tabletop exercise went as planned and has largely been deemed a success by those involved.
Several media outlets have misreported what happened, either making it seem the asteroid was real or that we are ill-equipped to deal with it.
NASA 's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) successfully diverted and altered the shape of the asteroid Dimorphos after smashing a spacecraft into it on Sept. 26, 2022 .
The test showed for the first time that the "kinetic impactor" method is a viable way of protecting our planet.
NASA also plans to launch the Near-Earth Object Surveyor by the summer of 2028 .
