Nieuws Uit De Ruimtevaart – Week 2022/20–600

Een mooi gebaar van NASA en Boeing om net deze week de Starliner-capsule naar het ISS te lanceren. Want deze week vieren we met deze 600ste aflevering ook de 12de verjaardag van het “Nieuws Uit De Ruimtevaart”. En ook deze aflevering zit weer boordevol ruimtevaartactualiteit. Nog veel lees- en kijkplezier.
