You're probably hearing a lot from Marco Rubio and the US State Department about international law and the Strait of Hormuz, and that Iran cannot legally close the Strait. Under the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, that's true!

Yet another #Artemis II article (from a French press agency, no less) ignoring that propulsion, power, & life support to the Orion capsule are provided by ESA’s European Service Module.

Built in Bremen by Airbus, with parts from all over Europe, e.g. solar wings made in Leiden.

Also no mention of the fact that the ESM’s for the Moon-landing Artemis IV & V missions are to be supplied as part of ESA’s contribution to the Lunar Gateway.

Which NASA cancelled last week.

You know, Martha Stewart went to jail for something similar. She'd like a word.

Constantin Schreiber hat es geschafft. Er hat den Bodensatz des Bodensatzes gefunden, was es in ein Springermedium hinein schafft.

Was für Abgründe. Überall. Unfassbare Entgleisung. Selbst für deutsche Journos der neue Tiefpunkt.

Einfache Faustregel für morgen: Wenn es total absurd klingt und mit Donald Trump, Pete Hegseth, Katherina Reiche, der AfD oder Friedrich Merz zu tun hat, ist es KEIN Aprilscherz.

Thank me later.
