Ik haat vastgemaakte tweets omdat je er steeds voorbij moet scrollen en er nooit echt iets belangrijks staat.

🇫🇷🇵🇹 Portugal moves toward next gen air defence system 🚀 Portugal has expressed interest in acquiring the SAMP/T-NG ground to air defence system, developed by EUROSAM, a cutting edge platform designed to counter aircraft, drones, and ballistic missile threats. The system is a major upgrade over current European air defences, featuring improved radar, faster response times, and enhanced interception capabilities, aligning with Europe’s broader push to strengthen regional security.

Na de prachtige vlucht van de Artemis 2 zal de onbezongen held de @esa zijn die de cruciale service module leverde. Europpa blaast in de ruimte gewoon een aardig deuntje mee. Los van dat: dit was vooral een NASA/ CSA missie. Dus feli. En betere satfoons kopen!

Inderdaad een stevig gevoel van méééh inmiddels bij de Taco in Chief. Grote bek, dom gezwets, volledig buiten elke realiteit en altijd is het de schuld van "Die Ander..." Beter pakken we een biertje. Het word tijd dat Europa weg beweegt van Yankistan.
DER SPIEGEL: Trump has effectively given Europe an ultimatum: within days, they must commit actual military forces, like warships, to the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, Europeans on their two week Easter holiday:

Time to convince this sleeping fluffball to go for a walk and than it's time for bed. I would rather follow the news form the Middle East but even I need sleep (although I find it highly overrated).

With Donald Trump promising to "end an entire civilization" in about 10 hours, former US presidents have begun to rise to the occasion and are now furiously commenting on college basketball.
Once again, the best college hoops teams prove there's nothing like March Madness to get our jaws dropping, our hearts racing, and our brackets busting. Congratulations to the Bruins and the Wolverines!

De maan is van kaas. Dan kun je niet zonder Nederlandse tech. Das gewoon logisch.
1/3 🧵 Back to the Moon with Dutch technology 🚀🇳🇱 For the first time since 1972, #ArtemisII is sending humans around the lunar far side. This isn’t just a @NASA mission. Dutch innovation is contributing to the journey @NL_Space #SpaceDutch #Artemis

“I’m the space plumber, I’m proud to call myself the space plumber.” Mission specialists like @Astro_Christina train for all roles so they can jump in wherever they’re needed. Sometimes that means fixing vital machinery, like the spacecraft toilet.

Getting really bored of MAGA ranting about "freeloading" Europeans. The US does not spend a trillion dollars "on NATO." It spends it on a vast global military empire, with a mere 3.6% going toward their bases in Europe. Meanwhile us "freeloading" Europeans spend $454 billion on our own defence. The "freeloading" story is and always has been a lie to keep Americans angry and Europeans compliant.

There are millions of Epstein files that still haven't been released by the DOJ as required by law. This is his attempt to continue the cover-up.
Apr 3
Blanche: The DOJ has now released all the files with respect to the Epstein saga. To the extent the Epstein files was a part of the past year of this justice department, it should not be a part of anything going forward.
Community note
The DOJ has not released all Epstein files; it identified more than 6 million potentially responsive pages but released nearly 3.5 million. justice.gov/opa/media/1426… justice.gov/opa/pr/departm…

The translunar injection burn not only sets the Artemis II astronauts on the path to the Moon — it also puts the crew in a free return trajectory, which will allow them to use Moon's gravity to return to Earth.
Perspective: when we poll GO for translunar injection (TLI) and the engine(s) on the Orion Integrity service module propel us toward the moon, our actual destination is Earth. The ultimate destination of every human space flight.

The coolest orbital animation I've seen of Artemis 2 Just really shows you how far away they're flying today and also how precise they need to be to go to the moon

Donald Trump is now again having a mental breakdown over NATO not providing the help he claims he does not need, in an offensive war of his choosing that he claims to have already won, after spending the past year threatening to invade and annex several NATO members.

"Doe niet zo groot, je bent niet zo klein"
He took the greatest military force in world history, lost a war to a middle power in a week, begged the world to save him, and demanded that the media lie about this and everything else. I try, but at a simple human level I do not see how anyone can mistake this man’s almost supernatural weakness for strength. His weakness is something negative, gravitational, so deep that it can draw in a whole country. But only if we fail to see it. Only if we let it.

Compleet van 't padje af.
Trump: "The prime minster of UK told me 'I'm meeting with my team to make a determination.' I said, 'You don't need to meet with a team. You're the prime minster. You can make your own. Why do you need to meet with your team to find out if you're gonna send some mine sweepers or boats to us?' It's the same thing here."
