During the ESA Director General’s 2026 annual press briefing today - #Ariane 6 reached 5 successful launches earlier than many other heavy launchers.

11 de enero, dediquemos un momento a recordar a Aaron Swartz, asesinado por la instrucción salvaje de los fiscales Stephen Heyman, Scott Garland y Carmen Ortiz (con la complicidad pasiva del MIT, su universidad) por el delito de descargar papers científicos.

Perdimos a una de las personas mšs brillantes de nuestra generación.
No olvidemos su nombre.
