Europe got skills. But we knew that. Europe have been at it for hundreds of years. Our history spans thousands of years actually. It’s a remarkable story among many on this good Earth.

After that, we expect to hear from @esa.int’s #FLEX. 💪

It’s election day in Sweden tomorrow. Record turnout in pre-vote votes apparently. Don’t know what that means. Liberal party’s remarkable finish (now well beyond 4% in last polls!) might change some voters mind? In Sweden, you are allowed to change your pre-vote on election date. Only 10K do it.🤷🏼♂️

ESA opens call for plant to produce radioisotope spacecraft heaters in Europe
JOHANNESBURG — The European Space Agency is moving ahead with plans to establish a pilot plant intended to produce sovereign European-manufactured americium-241 radioisotope heater units (RHUs), devices that use heat generated by radioactive decay to keep spacecraft components warm enough to operate, for future exploration missions. ESA issued the tender on Aug. 26 for Phase 1 of its Baseline RHU Pilot Plant project, with a maximum budget of 4 million euros ($4.7 million).
