We dedicate the paper to @nasa astronaut Al Worden, @WordenAlfred, who operated the instrument onboard #Apollo15 nearly 50 years ago during his lonely orbits around the Moon. May he rest in peace. @NASAhistory @AlWordenESF @Victrix75 @F_French

Dit is niet waar. Wij wachten al 3 weken op onze stofzuiger… en na elke keer bellen zeggen ze dat het zo spoedig mogelijk wordt geleverd 🤯. Ik raad aan om je spullen ergens anders te bestellen.
Voor 14.00 uur besteld, vandaag in huis via de MediaMarkt bezorgservice. 🚚🛍

Initially scheduled to operate for only five years, the Integral spacecraft celebrated its 20th launch anniversary this week. Huge thanks to @esa and Integral scientists, including @ekuulkers for this story.
How did ESA's gamma ray-spotting 'scope make it to 20? They totally overdid it

We're sending @Snoopy around the Moon aboard #Artemis I. As the zero-gravity indicator, his spaceflight marks the next chapter in our relationship with Peanuts Worldwide that launched with Apollo in the 1960s: https://t.co/rvcIKiMYHn

Reflecting on a strange ESA #OpenDay for @spacerockslive. We had brilliant guests & panellists, who brought fantastic content & performances 🙇♂️ But thanks to the crazy location assigned to us outside ESTEC’s gates, we often only had tiny audiences of people leaving the site 😕
