@ESA_transport @ArianeGroup @Arianespace @CNES @DLR_en @DLR_SpaceAgency We are aware of several fake Ariane 6 launch live streams on YouTube.

We are working with @YouTube to investigate and solve the issue. Our official YouTube live stream of the Ariane 6 launch will start at 19:30 BST/20:30 CEST here 👉https://t.co/SFDblkEfMS

Is this correct?

[Science Musings @ACC_Physics]

that should be "acquitted" of course!

[Science Musings @ACC_Physics]

Our CanSat team did themselves proud today. Their presentation was flawless, and they handled the questions by the judges brilliantly. They should be very proud of how they have aquitted themselves throughout the competition. @ccathlone

Great presentation by the team. We await the verdict of the judges...

A safe landing and data transfer was a success. Time to analyse our findings now. @CanSatIreland @ccathlone @TUS_Athlone_

@brian_mac8419 @Cmdr_Hadfield Yes, but not often. Astronaut George Driver "Pinky" Nelson made an untethered spacewalk to try and get the Solar Max for a repair in the cargo bay of the Challenger on STS-41C.

[Science Musings @ACC_Physics]

An honour and a privilege for our CanSat team today to have a personal Zoom meeting with legendary NASA Hall of Fame astronaut George "Pinky" Nelson. For 45 minutes we were enthralled by tales of spaceflights, spacesuits, spacewalks and guitars! @ccathlone
