Space debris struck a Chinese spacecraft – how the incident could be a wake-up call for international collaboration
China has created more space debris than any other country. But as its space program grows, it has more to lose from a collision than ever before.

Ida – ein religiöses Meisterwerk – Medientipp
(bis 7. Dezember 2025 in der ARD-Mediathek) Anfang der 1960er-Jahre macht sich eine junge Novizin auf eine Reise in die eigene Vergangenheit: Eine Tante informiert sie über ihre jüdische Herkunft und die Ermordung der Eltern im Holocaust. Der dialogarme Film erzählt mit strengen schwarz-weißen Bildern und einem vielschichtigen Soundtrack aus Bach, Mozart und modernem Jazz von den Narben, die die Verbrechen des 20. Jahrhunderts hinterlassen haben. Ein überzeugend gespieltes Drama, das gerade auch wegen seiner inhaltlichen Offenheit lange nachwirkt. - Sehenswert ab 14.
