Much respect to @NASAAdmin for his leadership!
Below is the note that I sent to the NASA workforce today as we release the report on the Starliner Crew Flight Test Investigation.
We will achieve success through extreme ownership, immense competence, and decisive action.

Helt enig med @Astro_Andreas. Europa skal kunne stå på egne ben og være en ligeværdig part i forhold til USA - både når det handler om forsvar og rumfart. Vi har et kæmpe potentiale, men det kræver investeringer og en samlet strategi. #dkpol

Can’t get enough? Neither can we 💫
With this morning’s successful #Ax4 launch, 🇵🇱 @esa project astronaut @astro_slawosz is on his way to the International @Space_Station.
He’s flying with:
🇮🇳 Pilot Shubhanshu Shukla
🇭🇺 Mission specialist Tibor Kapu
🇺🇸 Commander Peggy Whitson
And it’s only just beginning. The European mission, #Ignis, officially kicks off once Sławosz passes through the hatch tomorrow. Stay tuned 🔥

One of the most recurring questions when it comes to space exploration is why send astronauts into space.
@esa astronaut @astro_andreas and chief exploration scientist Angelique Van Ombergen discussed the benefits of conducting science in microgravity at #SalonDuBourget, including:
🥼 Experiments to study the loss of bone density and air quality on the International @Space_Station during the #Ignis mission.
⚙️ First metal 3D printing in space.
👨🚀 How astronauts become lab technicians and test-subjects to monitor changes in their bodies.

🚀 Europe's vision for human & robotic space exploration:
♻️ Sustainable
🤝 Responsible
📈 Sustained
🤲 Beneficial to society
A panel discussion at #SalonDuBourget reaffirmed @esa's expertise and crucial role as a reliable partner that delivers. The #Explore2040 strategy aims to maintain European presence in low Earth orbit and explore the Moon and Mars to better understand our Solar System.

Er man dansker, så er man det uanset hvor på kloden, man bor.
Selv har jeg boet i både Frankrig og Canada, og tilknytningen til DK blev ikke mindre af den grund. Faktisk tværtimod. Derfor naturligt at alle danskere bør have stemmeret i Danmark -uanset hvad adressen siger. 🇩🇰🌏

Spændende historie fra sidste summer

So, you probably won't believe how desperate Starliner's flight to the space station got last summer ...

Made in space. Designed in Denmark🚀I dag har @Astro_Andreas overrakt os et unikt objekt. Et test-emne lavet i metal for første gang på rumstationen og designet af os. Nu skal det analyseres og sammenlignes med lignende objekter lavet på Jorden. Det er 1 af kun 4 lavet i rummet.
