[MCH Team:Info] [Content] Fwd: (blogpost proposal) Submit a talk above and beyond the final frontier!

[Noor]

Yeah, I like images as well, though currently they don't show up on social
media previews (see last one:
https://twitter.com/MCH2022Camp/status/1461060663275622407 ). I'm looking
into that, and if setting that up doesn't take too long, I'd like to wait
to publish until that's dealt with. The tweets about the blog posts get
hardly any few likes/RTs.

Robin: What do you think of "A car was fired into space" as it was a
singular car?
