What can humanity learn from dinosaur extinction about protecting Earth from asteroid impacts?

The clip emphasizes that Earth will inevitably face asteroid impacts in the future, drawing a parallel to the dinosaur extinction event 66 million years ago. The key lesson highlighted is that dinosaurs went extinct partly because they lacked the technological capability to detect and potentially deflect threatening asteroids. Unlike dinosaurs, humans have developed space programs and planetary defense systems that could potentially save our civilization from a similar fate. This underscores the critical importance of continued investment in space technology and asteroid detection programs for humanity's long-term survival.
