Grüne sehen baltische Länder als Vorbilder bei Krisenvorsorge - Hubu.de - News & FreeMail

Nach dem mutmaßlich linksextremistischen Anschlag auf das Stromnetz in Berlin fordern die Grünen, sich bei der Vorbereitung der Bevölkerung auf solche Krisenlagen stärker an Vorbildern aus dem Ausland zu orientieren. Es sei "sehr wichtig, das Wissen der Menschen zum richtigen Umgang mit solchen Krisen zu stärken", etwa in der Schule, durch Übungen oder über Angebote der Hilfsorganisationen, sagte die Erste parlamentarische Geschäftsführerin der Grünen-Bundestagsfraktion, Irene Mihalic, dem "Handelsblatt" (Freitagausgabe).

Liquidated my Astra (#ASTR) position. Took a 99% loss on that one since the SPAC offering and the latest news is basically that of a clown car.

Haven't put much into it since the SPAC era, and the remaining horse that I'm riding is #RKLB since #VORB went out of business earlier this year.

Still bullish on the space sector and still believe will lead to some great returns in the future, but it's clear that there's a lot of churning in the years ahead.

@laimis It's good to see one of my launcher bets paying off.* :-)

I invested in Astra and Virgin Orbit and both of those have been pretty much complete losses, though Astra protests otherwise and that they'll get that share price back up with the un-flown Rocket 4.

* Since I got in early in the SPAC days, I'm still underwater on RKLB, but that's not a problem, as I have full faith in the company and expect it to surge once the market calms down a bit.

Look like today's the day where I get to watch a stock (VORB) go to zero after Virgin Orbit's announcement that it's winding down.

Space is hard. The small launch market, especially so.

That said, I'd like to see their technology land SOMEWHERE eventually.

Nice! Maybe I won't lose my entire investment after all!

Honestly surprised that #VORB got to this point sooner than #ASTR. It looks like that botched UK launch might have been the final nail in the coffin.

Fortunately, I only had a token position in this company (enough to keep me interested enough to keep paying attention), so it's nowhere the money loser for me that Astra has been.
