The camera view from the Dart spacecraft

NASA’s DART spacecraft is destined for a head-on collision with an asteroid in the very first test of our planetary defence system.

Adding video to channels (Ftw, Science) - requested by ant.

There are also much longer run-ins with and without commentary available.

If you don't want to watch the whole thing, I recommend quickly clicking through time slices of the plain video without commentary (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6Z1E0mW2ag) to see the approach, from nothing to one body, to two, getting bigger, maybe until about 1:40:00. You can then switch to the final 5 minutes on the video with commentary, which is about the 1:10:30 mark here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RA8Tfa6Sck.

I watched it spoiler-free and didn't know what to expect. I was blown away. Let's hope the same thing happened to Dimorphos.

Interplanetary trolley problem now that we've changed its course
