Fun Fact Science Corner: This post is so wrong about the science. Not only is gender distinct from sex, not only there are plenty of humans that are neither XX or XY, but most species on Earth do not determine sex by XX/XY chromosomes. Here comes a #thread of other systems!

Covering a launch in a heatwave requires some creativity, like working alone on your balcony at midnight, but it was worth it to help see off @eumetsat’s #MTGS1.
🚀A night to remember! 🌠 Last night, several of our team members joined @ESA_EO at @eumetsat HQ for the MTG-S1 & Sentinel-4 launch. At 23:04 CEST, MTG-S1 blasted off, set to improve weather forecasting & air quality monitoring! 🌍🌫️ #EarthObservation #ESA #space #weather

actually I think we should have more NASA accounts. why just an SLS account? there should be accounts for core stage, engine 3, booster 2, interstage, stage adapter, launch escape tower…

I’ve never been more sure I’m talking to an alien badly pretending to be human than tonight, when someone in my pottery class said they find the sun rising at 9am cozy* because they get to eat breakfast in the dark. *gezellig, om precies te zijn
