The United Nations' First Space Mission

The video discusses the United Nations' first space mission planned for 2021, which aims to send experiments from various countries into low Earth orbit. The mission prioritizes countries without their own space programs and offers technical support. The Dream Chaser spacecraft will be used for this mission. Additionally, the UN has partnered with China to allow countries to send payloads to the proposed Chinese space station. The video also highlights recent findings of tectonic activity on Mercury, suggesting the planet is still geologically active. The video concludes by encouraging engagement in space science and mentions plans for Mars colonization.
