RIP Jane Goodall. Truly a wonderful human being. The world is a lesser place without her grace.

With Marc Maron announcing that he going to wind down his podcast (started in 2009) another old school podcast leaves the scene. The number of folk left is beginning to get very small. I don't blame him though. It's hard to keep doing creative stuff forever and keep it fresh and at a high level. Burnout is a real thing.

...of course it helps if you take a really long time between releases.😂
Our motto around here is: "It's a marathon, not a sprint". But Marc produced at a very high level for a very long time and elevated the medium. Thanks for that MM!

The Garmin Enduro 3 In-Depth Review. Is this actually the better and cheaper Fenix 8 Solar? It's significantly cheaper, has far longer battery life, the same new Fenix 8 software features, and more. Dig into all my thoughts and real-world test data: https://t.co/RSlxJTpZ8F

@ESA_transport I loved it when we did this, we also did one with dinosaurs. @nplinnspace was the brain behind this during her YGT. How long ago was it Linn?

Argentina is surprisingly cold.

It's bordering on Chile.

My new Spain/@PLD_Space poster is done! I'm really happy with it. It will be available from the European Spaceflight store from Friday at 11:00 CEST.

🤩
There's no sound, but we cannot get enough of this video – 11 minutes of high-definition rocket liftoff.
🚀
Relive the #Ariane6 launch in glorious slow-motion and in 4K from all camera angles – from the launch pad to the upper stage in flight.

[Andrew Parsonson @AndrewParsonson]

Yes! We have a video now from @Armee_de_lair of the Rafale combat aircraft chasing Ariane 6 during the rocket's inaugural flight!

[Andrew Parsonson @AndrewParsonson]

Okay, @Armee_de_lair has won "best photo" for the inaugural Ariane 6 launch!

[Andrew Parsonson @AndrewParsonson]

I found it. This is my favourite @Armee_de_lair photo of the inaugural Ariane 6 launch.

@johnnywharris @elonmusk Talk to @SciGuySpace , the author of this book https://t.co/emD4V4mPK8

[Andrew Jones @AJ_FI]

Wow. This is apparently what was supposed to be a STATIC FIRE TEST today of a Tianlong-3 first stage by China's Space Pioneer. That's catastrophic, not static. Firm was targeting an orbital launch in the coming months. https://t.co/BY9MgJeE7A

@unionargentina Hay alguna forma de ver esos partidos en streaming?

@SciGuySpace Congrats Eric !

Concordia's mission spans four key research areas:
- 🧊 Deep ice cap drilling aids climate research, with EPICA retrieving 800,000-year-old ice and Beyond EPICA targeting 1.5 million years.
-🔭The base is an optimal astronomical observation site, minimizing distortion for continuous exoplanet 🪐characterization.
- In seismology 〰️, one of two Antarctic stations, Concordia detects global earthquakes, contributing to rapid tsunami alerts🌊.
- Additionally, it plays a vital role in behavioral and medical studies🩺, providing insights applicable to space missions🧑🏻‍🚀👩🏾‍🚀, including research conducted by ESA @esaspaceflight @esa.

What was the weirdest thing I took to space? 🙊 Sorry @AstroPeggy

@HardcoreHistory You’re the only account I setup to receive notifications on new tweets. I noticed a few more notifications than usual but with quality and interesting content, thanks for the informed debate.

[Julio Aprea @aprea]

Interesting aspect I wasn’t aware of regarding the development of the nuclear bomb.
