Why did NASA launch a spacecraft into an asteroid?

I’m sure they did this whole thing on paper before executing, but why did they need to actually do it?

Normally, I’m all for funding space agencies, but there doesn’t seem like a whole lot of value in doing this. If you know all of variables in concept, you should be able predict that it would work. Right?

It was to test if they could redirect asteroids that would certainly impact Earth. It was just a hypothesis until they tested it 🙂
