ESA's Hera mission launch (Official broadcast)

Hera, ESA’s first planetary defence mission, is headed to space.

Hera will fly to a unique target among the 1.3 million known asteroids of our Solar System – the first body to have had its orbit shifted by human action – to probe lingering unknowns related to its deflection.

Thank you SpaceX for the flawless ride! Good old B1061 got to fly a very cool planetary defence launch on its last launch.

Planetary Defense... Where can I join? 😁

Space-X is very stingy with their live feeds. Could it have hurt them to show another hour or so of the departure from Earth?
