ESA Set to Launch Hera Mission, the First Planetary Defense Endeavor of Its Kind
Space is a pretty wild place with asteroids, rogue planets and possibly even aliens species being a threat to humanity. Now a new mission by the ESA is about to launch, heading into space to inspect the Dimorphos and Didymos asteroid pair to better understand how we might redirect it if it was coming our way.
