    Una lunga cooperazione spaziale, oggi ancor più profonda tra @Nasa e @ASI_spazio e porterà a realizzare un campo base sulla #Luna e un astronauta italiano a camminare sulla superficie lunare. Competenza e tecnologia italiana aprono tutte le porte dell’esplorazione dello spazio

    Ok, who is in for a wild flight with @united? 🙋🏽‍♂️ well, buckle up and sit back, we’re going for the long haul. So, I’m flying from Houston to Munich, and because I know my airlines I went for a very long (6hr) stopover, then on to my final destination. I thought there was no way
