An anniversary worth marking.
I'm sure we're going to see the very people who have trashed its legacy seek to appropriate WW2 today - so let's remember what was really fought for: peace, a more united Europe, a land fit for heroes (mark 2) and the defeat of fascism.

Astronomers say they have found the strongest indication of life beyond our solar system, on a planet 124 light-years away called ‘K2-18b.’
While they have not declared the finding of life, they detected “potential biosignatures” that are typically produced by living organisms like marine algae.

It's weird that corporations who build rockets still claim success after one blows up and crashes.
When a rocket blew up in the 60s, nobody called it a success.
Imagine NASA saying "well, at least we learned we need a better escape hatch. That's a success!"
