Once the Space Shuttle left orbit, it became a giant unpowered glider. 🚀
No go-around. No second attempt.
It reentered at roughly 28,000 km/h, descended far more steeply than an airliner and touched down near 350 km/h.

Spain just went dark in the middle of the day. 🌑☀️
A total solar eclipse transformed daylight into darkness over Tarragona, creating one of nature's most breathtaking spectacles.
Absolutely unreal. Would you want to witness this in person? 🇪🇸✨

Looking back at #ESASpaceCamp 2026 in #Spain:
We had a very special guest: #ESA #astronaut @Astro_Pablo_ESA ! It was a great pleasure to meet Pablo and show him our #STEMEd activities. And Pablo gave very inspiring talks to all of the 220 kids, of course! Muchas gracias, Pablo!
