Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

I’ve been through a lot worse than anything Donald Trump or Pete Hegseth can throw at me. And I'm not backing down, because this isn't about me — it's about you and every American's First Amendment right.

In October 2015, just over 10 years ago, we kicked off ESA astronaut Tim Peake's #Spacerocks campaign a few months before his launch on 15 December.

More sad news. Talgat flew on three spaceflights, sharing spacecraft with Ulf Merbold (landing), Claudie Haignere (landing) and Leopold Eyrharts (launch). He visited ESA ESTEC a few years ago as a guest of André Kuipers, and met NASA astronaut Millie Hughes-Fulford (now also no longer with us).
