The name of the mission gives free rein to the imagination: Planetary Defense Mission. It is a joint mission between ESA and NASA, and it wants to test for the first time what has long been a topic in science fiction: can a deadly chunk of rock be deflected from its collision course with the earth or is a second event that took away the dinosaurs only a matter of time? The Planetary Defense Mission will find an answer. Whether it is the one we would like remains to be seen. Mission Director Ian Carnelli paints a fascinating picture of this unique mission.Click here to learn more about ESA’s HERA mission.The Space Cafe Podcast brings our signature brand of engaging and relevant content from across the global space economy to you via an exciting new format.

On closer inspection, however, there is one place with a most curious combination of buildings that piqued our interest: a spaceport with its own pub.
