belangrijke tip: de tijdlijn op X bij 'volgend' is niet chronologisch. Typ in de zoekfunctie 'ruimtevaart' en je krijgt wel het laatste nieuws eerst.

🥳🌞✨Get your aurora hats ready! There could be some excitement tonight (EDT) into tomorrow - certainly for higher latitudes with a small possibility of action in the middle latitudes (states)! Good luck! More on what started this at https://t.co/ChTIRrCmlR

@JackKuhr He should do his homework: Building ISS took 36 Shuttle flights + 6 Russian launches. A NASA manager told me that before Columbia crash a flight cost $360 million> 36*400 ~ 14 billion. So maybe 20 % of total cost.

Instead of a single small satellite test, the team completed 172 test runs, validating the system for debris removal and in-orbit relocation: https://t.co/HiLLKs1lGj

Deploying the Starlab space station will require an operational Starship and a new fairing for the rocket.

We asked Starlab's CEO Marshall Smith about the $90M Starship contract.

"SpaceX has a contract to go land on the surface of the Moon by '28. We just have to go to orbit. We're already doing that."

"So the biggest thing we gotta do now is deal with the fairing, which is in work. I have no doubts or qualms at all that we will be there."

Our FLIP rover is now attached to @astrobotic hardware! FLIP was recently stacked and integrated onto the cone and ramps of the Astrobotic Griffin lander, the rover’s ride to the Moon.

Great news for European Human Spaceflight:
"Thomas Pesquet will serve as Commander for Vast’s private astronaut mission to the International Space Station".

Pending who will command Ax-5, Pesquet could become the first Non-former-NASA Astronaut to Command a PAM mission (this used to be a requirement under the previous administration).

"ESA Reserve Astronaut Arnaud Prost is intended to serve as a flight test engineer on the first crewed mission and flight acceptance test for Haven-1".

Dunkelflaute (no wind or sun) — only approximately 3.5% of European annual electricity consumption.

Israel bombed a Roman Fort in Lebanon, over 2000 years old, one of the finest examples of Roman Architecture left on the planet, stood isolated on a hill.

But Israel bombed it anyway.

They are terrorists, and they destroy everything.

Schaatsen op de zomerijsbaan! @olofvdgaag merkt in @parool op dat de stroomprijs al zo’n 600 uur per jaar negatief is; “Dan wil je daar liefst nuttige dingen mee doen, zoals het opladen van je auto of een thuisbatterij.” https://t.co/zoDz9uydaT
