25.06.2025The Day the Astronaut Spoke from Space
Poland's second astronaut mission dominated morning coverage as Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski launched aboard Falcon 9 at 8:31 AM, reaching the International Space Station and delivering his first words from orbit: "I take with me to space a piece of each of you." Media provided extensive live coverage of the launch preparations, successful departure, and initial communications from space.

The electoral dispute escalated as Justice Minister Bodnar requested examination of ballot cards from over 1,400 electoral commissions, building on recent Supreme Court findings of counting errors favoring Trzaskowski. Conservative outlets portrayed this as desperation while the Supreme Court announced it would issue its election validity ruling on a specified date.

NATO summit coverage showed unanimous agreement to increase defense spending, with President Duda crediting Trump's leadership and predicting mutual visits between Poland's new president and Washington.

Two tragedies emerged: three teenagers' bodies were found in Masurian lakes after search operations, and the missing NCBiR director was discovered dead, ending separate search efforts.
