Een van de beroemdste Romeinen aller tijden: #PontiusPilatus. Ik zal er de komende tijd enkele keren over bloggen. Hier is het eerste deel, over vooringenomen bronnen en onze onvolledige informatie over 's mans mandaat.

A rubbish challenge: how do we dump space junk? Modern life depends on space-based infrastructure, but there’s a lot of junk orbiting alongside working spacecraft. Katherine Courtney and Alice Gorman talk to Margaret Harris about the danger of #SpaceDebris – and what we need to do about it: https://physicsworld.com/a/a-rubbish-challenge-how-do-we-dump-space-junk/ (looong).

Now, let's be honest. We know what it looks like when organisations show up, cross-post for two weeks, and disappear. We don't want to be that. But we're a small team with limited resources, so we need this to work both ways.

Engage with us. Challenge us. Tell us what you want to see from a European political party in this space. Help us make this worth it, for all of us.

This is the start of a conversation, not a campaign. Let's talk. 💜
