Highlight of the week for me was visiting Jamie Dunn at NASA Goddard, the manager of Roman Space Telescope.
Jamie and team have done an incredible job building this discovery machine - while keeping it on schedule towards launch and within cost. Super proud of them! 🔭

The Swiss🇨🇭love fireworks even more than the Americans 🇺🇸. My doggie Luna - not so much… So, I spent the entire 2-3 hours of max noise 🎆💥 in the quietest room in our place - and loved it. #LuvMyDog
Happy 45^2 to all!

Enjoying some days in Park City, Utah. Whether ⛷️ or 🏃♂️, the outdoors make me feel more centered and more connected to nature!

Final project presentation of the 1st year ever of the 🇨🇭Space Masters Program. Students walked away with two impressions. 1. they recognize that developing space systems is very much in their reach; 2. they are acutely aware of the hard challenges related to such systems!

Day trip to City of #Thun and my home town of #Heiligenschwendi w US family members.
Visiting the Thun Castle, and looking out from its towers, reminds us of times as far back as 12th century when people were also in this beautiful but wild environment of the Swiss Alps and tried to live well.

Aerosols have both natural and human made sources. A new paper suggests that there is a significant and measurable effect on the stratosphere from space missions. This seems important.

How is it signing a book next to your childhood comic hero? This is how.
A new space book coming out in the educational #Globi series was launched this week at the public Zurich science festival! It was fun, but I was not that unhappy when all books were sold out … 🚀🛰️👨🚀
