2023 was a landmark year in space exploration for the European Space Agency (ESA), marked by significant missions like Juice’s journey to Jupiter, the launch of the Euclid space telescope for dark matter research, and the decommissioning of ESA’s Aeolus mission.

The year also saw advancements in Earth observation technologies, initiatives to address space debris, and collaborative efforts in asteroid impact studies. Notably, the Galileo satellite system’s new high-accuracy service and the first hardware tests for its second generation of satellites were significant milestones.

An extensive luxurious facility for a billionaire is no surprise, but the secrecy around the project raises many questions.

The facility is more than a personal getaway for the Zuckerbergs hosting office and conferencing facilities and an industrial-scale kitchen.
