Space is not being communicated properly outside the space bubble. A short thread. #spacecomm
What space is not: A Billionaires playground.
What space is: An industry that massively helps to combat climate change, mitigate natural disasters and protect the environment. 1/5
Space is not a waste of tax payer money, it's an economical powerhouse that can change things for the better, including creating thousands of new jobs each year. #space4all

The Climate Ticket Austria, which allows you to use all public transport and trains unlimited for a whole year, is the best example. It's made possible by Satellite data and will help to massively reduce CO2 Output. #space4climate

And no, I'm not being paid to advertise this. I'm just very much annoyed that at the moment two/three rich white men flying to space currently dictate the narrative of what space is in the public eye, when it couldn't be further from the truth. 4/5 #spaceoutreach
No one denies that these billionaires might just accelerate the development of certain technologies & get the public excited about space once more, but we need to communicate better that space is something benefitting us all everyday, - and not just a few rich people. 5/5
