@AkaSci women in these professions, more #womenInSTEM! We had women #astronauts on the ISS who are real scientists - they do much more for girls to like STEM and becoming astronauts!
Please be aware that the NASA had stuff for girls and deleted it for Trump! https://www.space.com/space-exploration/nasa-website-removes-first-woman-graphic-novel-but-heres-where-you-can-still-find-it

And therefore, it has a very bitter aftertaste that Trump supporter Bezos is instrumentalizing these women for these billionaires' #TESCREAL ideologies, not for women's best! They fight women on all levels.

I got the opportunity to see the italian radio station used to intercept Jurij Gagarin's communications!
Part 3

The most unsettling of their discoveries concerned Soviet space missions that were never officially acknowledged.

The brothers intercepted transmissions that seemed to suggest the existence of failed launches with Cosmonauts on board, both before and after Yuri Gagarin’s historic flight.

Some of the most dramatic events they recorded:

• November 28, 1960: A Morse code signal in English repeated the desperate message: "SOS to the whole world."
It appeared to come from a Cosmonaut adrift in space, unable to return to Earth.

• February 2, 1961: They intercepted sounds resembling a heartbeat and labored breathing.
Two days later, the USSR announced the launch of a Sputnik spacecraft, which was expected to disintegrate in the atmosphere after a few days.

• May 1961: They heard voices from two men and a woman in orbit.
After a while, the male voices stopped transmitting, leaving only the woman’s voice.
In her final moments, she repeatedly complained about feeling hot and seeing flames, until a final, heartbreaking scream was followed by silence.

• October 14, 1961: They recorded the voice of a Cosmonaut whose spacecraft later disintegrated upon re-entering the atmosphere.

• April 13, 1964: The Soviets announced the launch of the Polyot 2 satellite, officially unmanned.
However, the brothers intercepted radio communications between someone on the spacecraft and ground control.

The theory of the lost Cosmonauts remains shrouded in mystery.
Neither the Soviet Union nor modern Russia has ever confirmed these events.
Without definitive proof, the fate of these forgotten Astronauts remains one of the great enigmas of the space race.

Moonquakes Surprisingly Common
* Image Credit: NASA, Apollo 11 Crew
https://www.nasa.gov/history/alsj/a11/a11.html
https://www.nasa.gov/

Explanation:
Why are there so many moonquakes? Analyses of seismometers left on the moon during the Apollo moon landings reveal a surprising number of moonquakes occurring within 100 kilometers of the surface. In fact, 62 moonquakes were detected in data recorded between 1972 and 1977. Many of these moonquakes are not only strong enough to move furniture in a lunar apartment, but the stiff rock of the moon continues to vibrate for many minutes, significantly longer than the softer rock earthquakes on Earth. The cause of the moonquakes remains unknown, but a leading hypothesis include tidal gravity from -- and relative heating by -- our Earth. Regardless of the source, future moon dwellings need to be built to withstand the frequent shakings. Pictured here, Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin stands beside a recently deployed lunar seismometer, looking back toward the lunar landing module.

There's another book, a graphic novel about women astronauts:

Astronauts: Women on the Final Frontier by Jim Ottaviani & Maris Wicks, 2020

In the graphic novel Astronauts: Women on the Final Frontier , Jim Ottaviani and illustrator Maris Wicks capture the great humor and incredible drive of Mary Cleave, Valentina Tereshkova, and the first women in space.
