And thus it came to pass that in one lazy piece of journalism, thirty seven NASA space shuttle flights between 1998 & 2011 were erased from history 🙄

Good luck to Sunita Williams & Butch Wilmore, both veterans of those shuttle flights, as they ride Starliner to the ISS tonight 🚀🤞

Weather for Boeing Starliner’s May 6 launch looks very favorable:

95% chance of good weather at the launch site

Pretty sight as China’s Chang’e 6 mission lifts off 🚀👍

Heads up 👀

China is due to launch their Chang’e 6 mission in the next couple of hours 🚀🛰️

It’s the first to attempt the return of samples from the lunar far side, in the scientifically very interesting South Pole-Aitken Basin region 🌑

There are some European experiments on-board & some of my ESA colleagues are at the launch site 🤞

There’s a livestream on CGTN & I’m due to be on at 09:30UTC / 11:30CEST.
