Nieuws Uit De Ruimtevaart – Week 2021/41–568

Met JWST die aankomt op de lanceerbasis, met Captain James T. Kirk die eindelijk echt in de ruimte was, met een filmcrew die terug kwam van het ISS, met de lancering van een nieuwe bemanning voor het Chinese ruimtestation, met de lancering van de sonde Lucy naar de Jupiter Trojanen is deze Nieuws Uit De Ruimtevaart al meer dan goed gevuld. Wegens tijdsgebrek komt de rest wel volgende week in de NUDR.
