Europe launches space mission in defense against city-killer asteroids

Good news!

This is a about a real climate change threat not the current demagoguery about global warming!

Earth could be hit by an asteroid any day! But this real and disastrous threat is deliberately more or less  concealed from the public!

"Europe launched its first spacecraft to help develop a defense against city-killer asteroids slamming into Earth. ...

About 30,000 asteroids measuring 100 to 300 meters travel the solar system in orbits that bring them relatively close to Earth, with one such space rock hitting the planet every 10,000 years ...

The Hera mission will investigate the result of NASA’s asteroid redirection test, in which the U.S. agency rammed a spacecraft into the asteroid Dimorphos in 2022 to test planetary defense capabilities. Hera will reach the binary asteroid system that includes Dimorphos in October 2026, and gathering close-up data may help turn NASA’s kinetic impact experiment into a potentially repeatable planetary defense technique, Thales said. ..."
