This person is a Ukrainian Serhii Korolev. A talented engineer, he was arrested by Stalin, put into a camp. After WW2, he was assigned with a mission to further develop Soviet-seized German missile program. OTD 1961 his rocket brought the first man to space.

Ukraine is the only country in the world facing ballistic missile attacks. It can be defended by Patriot systems unused or in storage elsewhere. This needs to happen now.

Two years ago today Bucha was liberated.

Two years ago the world learned what Russian occupation truly means.

👏 Launched in 2000, ESA Cluster had a planned lifetime of two years, but ended up spending almost 24 years in space, investigating the interaction between the Sun and Earth’s magnetosphere.

🛡️ The magnetosphere is our shield against the charged gas that carries particles and…

This is an Oscars moment worth watching.

The #EISCAT #Kiruna antenna, soon to be demolished. This picture will not be possible in a near future. We are sad to see the antenna go, but happy for the future to come.
