Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.

Heyy, check it out!
This is (just a part of) what I’m working on for Rosalind Franklin Mission to get our amazing Rover to the surface of Mars, to do science 🧬.
Massive amount of work from everyone, plus landing leg supplier SENER ES, to get to this point, and still plenty to do this year.

European engineers are testing our four-legged #ExoMars landing platform by dropping it onto simulated martian surfaces.
