[ Déni scientifique ]

Aujourd'hui, je vous parle d'une grosse revue de recherches sur ce sujet. La question centrale est :

"Qu’est-ce qui conduit certaines personnes à rejeter des preuves scientifiques solides, ou à se méfier de la méthode scientifique elle-même ?"

The first Ariane 6 with four boosters stands tall on the launch pad 👑

With the 20-metre version of the fairing, the height of the rocket is 62 metres!

Teams at Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana are doing the final checks before liftoff, set for today at 17:45–18:13 CET (13:45–14:13 local time).

Looks like ULA's Vulcan had another observation on it's SRBs...

However staging and the rest of the flight seemed nominal...

Aujourd'hui, 11 février, c'est la journée internationale des femmes et filles de science 👩‍🔬👩‍🚀👩‍💻

Et... il y a encore du boulot.

En France, moins d'un tiers des chercheur.euses scientifiques et à peine un quart des ingénieur.es sont des femmes.

Et sur 972 prix Nobel décernés, seulement 68 femmes.

La Chine fait d'une pierre 2 coups: valider le système d'éjection de leur nouvelle capsule lunaire Mengzhou, et prouver la réutilisation de leur nouvelle fusée Longue Marche 10A, version réduite (14t en LEO) de leur futur lanceur super-lourd LM-10.
Et c'est un succès complet.

China performed a successful in-flight abort test of the Mengzhou crew spacecraft and a reentry, powered descent and splashdown of a first stage CZ-10A today. Big step for its lunar and human spaceflight programs
