The world will be watching the milestone launch of NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test, DART, spacecraft on Wednesday, 24 November, intended to alter one small part of the Solar System forever.
DART will collide with the small moon of an asteroid in order to shift its orbit around its parent body - to test the concept of diverting threatening objects away from Earth.

Moscow (Sputnik) Nov 18, 2021
Last month, the Financial Times reported that China carried out two hypersonic weapons tests of a new "fractional orbital bombardment" system this past summer involving a hypersonic glide vehicle which America "does not currently possess." Beijing maintains the testing involved a "routine" trial of reusable space rocket technology.
