Eindelijk. Niet alleen werd Starliner dan toch (met succes) gelanceerd, ondertussen werd ook (met enige moeite) de capsule met het ISS gekoppeld.
Eindelijk. Voor de fans is het altijd lang wachten maar Starship werd voor een vierde keer gelanceerd. En. Wat. Een. Vlucht. Met dank aan de schitterende beelden die we mochten ontvangen.
Een derde hoogtepunt deze week was Chang’e 6. Ogenschijnlijk zonder enige problemen landde deze Chinese sonde op de achterkant van de Maan, verzamelde het een aantal bodemmonsters en dat materiaal is ondertussen al op weg naar de Aarde.

En zoals steeds, maar zeker ook deze week, nog veel, veel meer in het Nieuws Uit De Ruimtevaart.
