Great ad in Paris metro!

We live on a planet with 1.3 billion habitable years left. We've had rockets for 69 of those years. In that time, the cost of reaching orbit dropped from $54,500 per kilogram to $2,720, and SpaceX is targeting under $100 with Starship. If they hit that number, getting to space becomes 545 times cheaper in a single lifetime. 329 orbital launches happened in 2025. Almost one a day. The space economy crossed $626 billion last year and should hit a trillion by 2034. SpaceX just filed for an IPO targeting a $2 trillion valuation, worth more than every airline on Earth combined. Starship, their fully reusable rocket (both stages fly back and land), can lift 150 tons to orbit. The entire International Space Station weighs 420 tons. Three flights could put the whole thing up there. The engineering side of this is solved. What remains is a survival problem. Researchers published a paper in Scientific Reports calculating the natural extinction rate for humans, how often we'd get wiped out by asteroid strikes, supervolcanoes, the stuff we can't control. Less than a 1-in-14,000 chance in any given year. At that rate, we'd survive millions of years, more than enough to spread across the solar system. Toby Ord, a philosopher at Oxford who spent a decade studying how civilizations end, puts the odds of a civilization-ending catastrophe before 2100 at 1-in-6. The threats aren't from space. Nuclear war. Viruses engineered in labs that could spread before anyone understands what hit them. AI systems are smart enough to act on goals we never gave them. All things we built ourselves. A 2017 NASA paper made this case: we have a roughly 50-year window to lock in spacefaring infrastructure before resources run thin and energy costs make a restart nearly impossible. We're 9 years into that window. Given enough time, the math takes this to 100%. The only question that matters is whether we make it through the next few decades without blowing our shot.

Good luck, Artemis II crew, for your return to our home planet.

@KaylahannF Looks like straight from Naboo, not Westeros or Essos.

Que los líderes europeos hablen de ejército común es una buena noticia. Que lo hagan ahora, con una guerra en el continente, con el orden de seguridad que conocíamos desmoronándose y Trump amenazándonos ya mismo... dice mucho sobre cuánto tiempo hemos perdido. Pero más vale tarde que nunca. El problema es el mismo que nos ha impedido tener ya una seguridad e independencia europea los últimos 20 años: que decirlo no es lo mismo que hacerlo. Y construir defensa europea de verdad no es cuestión de voluntad política en un discurso. Es cuestión de tomar decisiones concretas. Como los titulares no protegen la autonomía europea ni nuestro futuro, aquí el paso a paso para lograrlo; el Plan de @VoltEuropa: 🔹 Ministerio de Defensa europeo — coordinar la seguridad de todos los europeos de forma democrática 🔹 Ejército europeo unido — Fuerzas Armadas comunes bajo control del Parlamento Europeo 🔹 Industria y tecnología propia — fabricar y desarrollar defensa sin depender de terceros 🔹 Mando y despliegue integrados — para actuar rápido cuando haga falta, sin esperar a que 27 capitales se pongan de acuerdo 🔹 Compras conjuntas de armamento — equipos compatibles y costes menores para todos 🔹 Inteligencia europea — frente a ciberataques, desinformación e injerencias externas 🔹 Control de infraestructuras críticas — que no caigan en manos de quienes nos quieren débiles 🔹 Más autonomía dentro de la OTAN — sin romper alianzas, pero sin depender de ellas para todo 🔹 Una sola voz europea en el mundo — porque divididos no nos escucha nadie Ojalá esta conversación llegue pronto a los consejos europeos donde se toman las decisiones de verdad. Ahí estaremos.

@Hontas_Farmer @Landeur We don't want those Nazi creeps here.

@Landeur Good. Remigrate yourself right back to Germany.

Men only want one thing and it's this.

@demo1itions Huh, my Twitter feed is wholesome again?

hello I am gonna see a musical

Trillion dollars to NASA immediately. It is time humanity starts its trek across the stars.

i genuinely can’t even remember the last time people were this excited about space. FUND SCIENCE!!!!

Human beings have been around for hundreds of thousands of years and I’m alive for this. Whatever else sucks, this does not.

The first rocket from mainland Europe might reach space tonight. Isar Aerospace is launching their rocket, Spectrum at 22:00. If successful, it will be a major win for European Sovereignty, allowing us to launch more satellites 🇪🇺

This tweet shows 3 things very clearly: 1) The US president is incompetent and needs to be removed from office. 2) The current US administration doesn't seem to remember that Europe helped them when they triggered Art. 5 after 9/11. 3) We need a European army ASAP.

DiscoverEU is back, as every year! The fantastic European initiative from Erasmus+ created for 18-year-olds gives a free travel pass for up to 30 days of train travel across the whole of Europe This is the Europe I love: a continent that brings its people closer together!💙🇪🇺

@unusual_whales That's what Brexit does to you.

"The UK must accept it is no longer a global power," per FT

@REnjoyer55265 @NXT4EU I do. That's why your comment is so creepy.

@DavidDraco @NXT4EU Remember your mighty past German

Germany. The beating heart of Europe 🇪🇺

@CANZUK EU makes more sense.

25% of Canadians say Canada should join the EU. 58% say it is worth considering. Meanwhile, 72% of Canadians support joining a CANZUK alliance. 🇨🇦🇦🇺🇳🇿🇬🇧 The choice for Canada's future is obvious. The public's choice is with Australia, New Zealand & the United Kingdom.

“The vast majority of Canadians (83%) agree that Canada should consider joining the European Union.” 🇨🇦🇪🇺

@REnjoyer55265 @NXT4EU Creep.

@NXT4EU You forgot all of the blacks and pakis roving the streets looking for soon to be rape victims.

@mrsahirreal @stats_feed Creep.

In your opinion, what was the largest mistake made in history?

The day Canada joins the EU, I'll book a flight to Ottawa and thank @MarkJCarney in person for being his country's greatest PM.
