The second Philippine cube satellite (CubeSat) was finally launched into space last Sunday. While Filipino science enthusiasts cheered for the historic moment, some social media users, downplayed this feat and poked fun at the cube-sized satellite instead. Canadian Space Agency said CubeSat is a square-shaped miniature satellite with roughly the same size of a Rubik’s cube. They were sent to Japan through DOST’s Space Science and Technology Proliferation through University Partnerships (STep-Up) of the STAMINA4Space program. This was a great weekend for Filipino Space Enthusiasts,” one Reddit user said.
