Surprised we didn't already have a thread. DART launched successfully at 0621 UTC today (23 Nov 21). Mission page here, encounter (as in collision) with small satellite of 65803 Didymos in late Sep/early Oct 2022.


--------------------
A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

Wow! Takes me back to 14 years old....

And that thin streak on the lower left (top of an enormous boulder, just barely in the Sun?)

Now we wait for LICIACube (and Hera, eventually)

Strong vibes of 7 year old me watching Ranger 7 send photos as it crashed into the Moon in 1964.

Same here. Back then, hitting the moon with a working spacecraft was hard. We have come so far since then!
