Noel del Castro is an industrial engineer, Salteña, and for years he lives between Argentina and the United States. At 34 he achieved what few in the region: to be selected in programs linked to NASA to train as an astronaut. His academic and scientific career is consistent: he graduated from the National University of Salta, specialized abroad and today integrates teams that work in avant -garde aerospace projects. A trajectory of effort, study and discipline that led her to make a name in an area reserved for very few and that transformed it into a provincial pride with international projection.
His path began to cross with Argentine politics for an unexpected reason: Javier Milei. While the country is going through an economic crisis with management problems, social tensions and corruption scandals, the president did not miss the opportunity to be active in social networks, this time interacting with the Salta astronaut. From June 2 onwards, Milei has been giving “Publications on Instagram” like “with the last Like recorded in early September. They are no less than seven likes at the close of this note. A gesture that shows how, even in the middle of the loaded agenda, the president keeps his digital routine intact.
The story did not end in a virtual exchange. As reported by the government itself, during the last presidential tour in Los Angeles a meeting was completed: Milei and Castro shared a lunch, presented as part of the official agenda. The meeting was released with photos and statement, which confirmed that digital contacts had their face -to -face correlation.
The episode adds to other signs of a president who fails to take off his custom of navigating and commenting online, even though the internal front demand urgent solutions. Thus, while economic problems persist and the scandal of coimas hits their space, Milei continues to show that he dedicates part of his time to digital life even in the middle of the crisis.
