Thank you, Vulcain 2.1! 🔥 The core stage of Ariane 6 has now separated from the upper stage. Vinci will now take over to continue the rocket's ascent to the skies.

Zefiro-40 has finished its job and now it's time to say goodbye and turn on Zefiro-9, its smaller sibling.

Liftoffs are rough. And payloads need to be protected. That's why ESA has renewed its contract with Lios, an Irish company that developed SoundBounce: a material to shield payloads from the noise and vibrations of liftoff. 🔇

🔊Vega-C rocket launched Smile mission this morning on a quest to reveal Earth’s invisible shield against the solar wind. 🚀Liftoff from Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana at 04:52 BST / 05:52 CEST (00:52 local time) on 19 May 2026 www.esa.int/Science_Expl...

SpaceForest launched its sounding rocket from Poland via a mobile ‘launch pad’. www.esa.int/Enabling_Sup...

And we have liftoff for Ariane 6 🚀 Flight #VA268 has just left Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana and is heading to low Earth orbit.

The 20-metre fairing just opened up to reveal our payloads to space for the first time. The upper and core stages of the rocket remain connected to the satellites as the rocket keeps moving forward.

Way above the clouds we say goodbye to Zefiro-9!

After 2 minutes of pure thrust (and 142 tonnes of solid propellant), the first stage of Vega-C, P120C, was turned off and left behind. Now the second stage takes over: Zefiro-40 will fire for 3 minutes, propelling the Smile farther away from Earth!

No confidence in this government! In less than 24 hours, there's a chance to get rid of this FF-FG government and bring about a #GeneralElectionNOW. Maximum pressure must be brought to bear. It seems Independent Ireland will be voting against the government this time, but will the Independent TDs?

The link between Stoicism & CBT is deep. Benny explains how Epictetus shaped the approach — distress often stems from the judgment we place on events through our personal history and beliefs. Radical acceptance interrupts that cycle with a deliberate pause. #stoicphilosophy #mentalresilience

I deleted a tweet but I want to speak about what I was annoyed about without potentially making someone feel bad. This tweet is about an artist's reaction to AI art. But it's evergreen. They do this every time anything happens in the artist community.

When politicians on the right, including the DUP say rising energy costs are linked to net zero & climate policies, they are full of crap. Today BP announced profits that have doubled in 3 months, because of war in the Middle East. This is obscene & corporate greed, hurting communities across NI.
