ESA astronaut Matthias Maurer and his NASA crew mates Raja Chari, Thomas Marshburn and Kayla Barron are all smiles as they arrive at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, USA on 26 October 2021.

Collectively, the astronauts make up Crew-3 and will travel to the International Space Station on the SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft “Endurance”. The first launch opportunity for Crew-3 is 07:21 CET (06:21 GMT, 02:21 EDT) Sunday 31 October 2021, with a backup date of 3 November. 

The Dragon will dock with the Space Station 22 hours after launch, allowing for a short overlap with the Crew-2 members who are due to depart the Station in the coming week.

With both Matthias and ESA astronaut and current Space Station Commander Thomas Pesquet on board, Europe will have two astronauts resident in space – a rare occurrence.  

The name of Matthias’s mission is “Cosmic Kiss”. This is Matthias’s first mission, and he will be the 600th human to fly to space.

Once in orbit, Matthias will spend around six months living and working in microgravity as he supports more than 35 European experiments and numerous international experiments on board.

Matthias is also certified to perform Extra Vehicular Activity (EVA) in both the Russian Orlan and American EMU spacesuits. He is expected to perform a Russian spacewalk during his mission as part of initial operations for the European Robotic Arm (ERA) that was launched to the Station in July 2021.

      A look inside people’s brains who say they’ve had a UFO encounter
      By USH
      Stanford Professor Garry Nolanhas been testing the brains of people who say they’ve experienced a UFO encounter as well as he analysis anomalous materials from UFO crashes. 

      Did the people who claimed that they'd had an encounter, especially the pilots, describe any perceivable decrease in neurological capacity? 
      Of the 100 or so patients that we looked at, about a quarter of them died from their injuries. The majority of these patients had symptomology that's basically identical to what's now called Havana syndrome. 
      But Dr. Nolan has also spent the past decade analyzing anomalous materials From UFO crashes 
      One of the materials from the so called Ubatuba event, a UFO event in Brazil, has extraordinarily altered isotope ratios of magnesium. 
      What that means is that if you find a metal where the isotope ratios are changed far beyond what is normally found in nature, then that material has likely been engineered, the material is downstream of a process that caused them to be altered. Someone did it. The questions are who… and why? 
      Speaking to Vice’s Motherboard, Nolan opened up about his work and revealed what sparked his interest in UAP. Learn more at: Vice Motherboard
