👨‍🚀Why send humans to space when we have so many problems on Earth? 🌍 It’s a fair question: human spaceflight is complex and can cost $ millions per mission. But it’s also one of humanity’s greatest drivers of innovation, resilience, and global cooperation.
 
64 years ago, Yuri Gagarin became the first human being to fly into space. On this International Day of #HumanSpaceflight, we are celebrating crewed missions to orbit (and beyond 🌙), but also the impact of those missions here on Earth.
 
⚕️ Advancing science and medicine
 ☕ Developing everyday spinoffs like memory foam and thermal flasks
 🌐 Fostering international collaboration through bodies like #COPUOS
 
Human spaceflight inspires us to reach higher and brings tangible benefits back down to Earth.
