UN space database aimed at easing global tensions is mysteriously down

The UN's database that tracks global space launches—intended to foster transparency and ease cold war tensions—has mysteriously disappeared from its website for months. This unexplained outage raises concerns about the transparency and potential distrust in international space activities. With global geopolitical tensions still present, the loss of this resource could undermine efforts to monitor space activities and maintain international peace. The absence of this database highlights the vulnerability of critical online resources and the potential impact on global security efforts.
