Would recomend the books An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth by astronaut chris hadfield and Endurance by Scott Kelly. Since you are from Europe I would recommend visiting ESA’s web page. Also there are great podcast like “off nominal” and “the space above us”. Last I would check out the polish space agency and see if they have any events planed.

https://www2.jpl.nasa.gov/snc/ it is possible to get meteorites from other planets that have been flung up from an impact of another meteorite. If the impackt was great enough to make the residu to leave its gravitational grip of its planet

Reply to Hey, can someone explain to me why we are not stending nuclear waste into space having a reliable rocket that can carry a decent amounts of cargo? I'm thinking about Falcon Heavy. One start a year would mean that US doesn't need to store anymore waste underground. by William0fBaskerville

Uranium is one of the most heavy elements. Also if you place it in earth orbit it will be part of space trash that can hit other objects. Next problem is if you want to send it into the sun. For this you will need a lot of delta v.
