Answer the following statement true (T) or false (F)
True
Both NASA and other international space agencies have been studying asteroids and comets to learn more about their composition in order to develop effective ways of altering their trajectory, thereby avoiding an impact with the Earth. In addition to a concerted effort to identify those objects whose may be on a collision course with the Earth, spacecraft have been sent to various asteroids to test our ability to intercept and deflect one should the need arise.
