Oh, wow! That's cool to know! Thank you for taking your time answering this question!
I consider Kerbal Space Program the best tool to create outreach for people to actually experience how orbital mechanics and spaceflight works.
I think NASA should talk with Squad and create a cool campaign involving the game and learning about space and physics while also having fun.
And of course, all the /r/KerbalSpaceProgram community will be waiting for you once you dare to launch Jebediah into space! :)

Hello! About the DRACO and SMART Nav I've got two questions:
1) At which "T- Impact" time does DART start making use of it's navigation and optical systems to fine tune it's trajectory to make sure it's on a precise intercept trajectory for Dimorphos?
2) How fast is DART able to modify it's attitude for corrections during the time window since it acquires visual of Dimorphos? Does it use a set of gyros, reaction control...?
Thanks <3
