Stop the ‘space race’: space exploration must be a shared human endeavour

Although led by NASA, Artemis II wasn’t just a US achievement; the mission was a collaborative effort. Long may such cooperation continue.

@SesameSquirrel Did I accidentally link an episode of #Endeavour? #HarryOrwell

Umberto Guidoni, the astronaut: “The flat-earthers told me that what I saw was false. Ciampi moved me to tears in orbit.”

The first European to board the shuttle Endeavour in 2001: “To decommission the Space Station? A mistake. What a disappointment to have been eliminated on MasterChef.”

I was asked if the night splashdown of #Crew11 #CrewDragon #Endeavour indicated extra urgency. Actually, that's normal. #NASA has done night splashdowns after Demo-2 (test pilots before Crew-1) in 2020 off Tallahassee FL was mobbed by gawking civilian boats. It was _extremely_ hazardous for untrained people to approach a spacecraft after re-entry until hazmat-suited specialists with sensors verified deadly-toxic propellants had dispersed. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:SpaceX_Demo-2_Landing_(NHQ202008020020).jpg #ISS #space
