Four astronauts back on earth aboard a SpaceX capsule

Four astronauts returned to Earth aboard a SpaceX capsule on Friday, ending their nearly six-month mission to the International Space Station with a splashdown in the Atlantic off Florida. Wet and windy weather in Florida delayed their return to Earth. SpaceX and NASA finally gave the green light on Friday, and the astronauts were able to leave the International Space Station, their residence since April. The capsule parachuted into the ocean off Jacksonville, Florida about five hours after leaving the ISS. She carried American NASA astronauts Kjell Lindgren, Bob Hines and Jessica Watkins, the first black woman to complete a long-duration spaceflight, as well as Italian Samantha Cristoforetti from the European Space Agency. SpaceX delivered their replacements last week. Before leaving the station, the astronauts said they were looking forward to drinking a cold drink, eating pizza and ice cream, taking a shower, enjoying nature and, of course, reuniting with their families.

It did not affect aircraft operating systems, nor air traffic control , but it is a message. Especially since the same group had already

Ukraine thanks France for sending military equipment

Russia-Ukraine War: President Emmanuel Macron last week said France would send Ukraine six truck-mounted Caesar guns, on top of the 18 it has already shipped over. M.Gainsbourg, some French chic inspiration, and a gorgeous sunset. The Ukrainian military has broken military communication codes by releasing a video pleading with Paris to demonstrate "romance" by delivering additional Caesar artillery pieces. We don't win wars with flowers, but Kiev deserves credit for giving it a shot. Of all of Kiev's calls for additional Western aid in its war against Russia, the footage uploaded on the Ukrainian Defense Ministry's Twitter account is possibly the most creative. The footage reads, "Romantic gestures take numerous forms," as roses, chocolate, and sunset on the Seine scroll by against an Eiffel Tower backdrop. As well as the intertwining of two hearts and hands. But if you want to win our hearts, nothing matches self-propelled, extremely mobile 155mm artill
