Interesting thread 👇

Sorry to repeat myself, but you *really* need to know this. Under the government's Public Order Bill, anyone who has protested in the previous 5 years can be forced to "submit to ... being fitted with, or the installation of, any necessary apparatus" to monitor your movements.

My God. This is a real photo. Taken just a few minutes ago by Orion Spacecraft.

Vega-C alas reentering the atmosphere; launch failure confirmed

Definitely gonna do this

The European Space Agency mission to Jupiter, #ESAJuice about to launch in about 20 minutes. Pre-launch show on now making good Friday lunchtime viewing. youtube.com/watch?v=MvHcGm…

Always been a fan of Power Corrupts Podcast podcast, and finally listened to the "Space Wars" episode. As someone who knows a little about this domain, it covers the basics very well; inc extant militarisation of space, legal aspects, #spacedebris, ADR, ASAT, and some more whacky ideas.

Wow wow wow! Phenomenal work by ISRO. This ain't easy. #MoonLanding #Chandrayaan3

A FAMOUS NIGHT AT ST. JAMES' PARK!!!!! 😍😍😍

This video is an excellent explainer from Tom Scott about the challenges of ground-based optical astronomy and some of the amazing engineering that makes it work. A must watch for space enthusiasts! 🌌🔭 #astronomy #space #telescopes youtube.com/watch?v=QqRREz…

Great to work with the innovators at PRIVATEER. Retroreflectors really are the best way to make satellites trackable and safe. Now, with the ultra-lightweight 'Lumi Micro-1', it's so easy to include them in your mission, you might wonder why everyone doesn't do it?

Proper footballing heartbreak there for #NUFC. Incredible effort from the team. Can't wait to head up for the Milan game with my first successful ballot ticket. Gonna be a noisy one. #PSGNEW #robbed

I do not understand the purpose of the administrative fiction that PhD students "pay tuition". Like what is the point of having invisible Monopoly money that the university moves from one account to another that I never interact with in any way.

Genuine question to #UBI fans. Scenario: a country has brought in UBI for say >10 years, people have adjusted their lives and some rely on it, but then a populist right-wing government is elected and they strip it back or cancel it. How are these people protected? #BasicIncome

A landmark moment in space. I believe it's the first in-orbit robotic manufacture and return to earth of goods. Congratulations to Varda Space Industries! Could become commonplace in a few years, with Space Forge hot on their heels.

How about a list of the highest tax contributors?

🧵1/ Thread on the #Southport anti-migrant and anti-Muslim disinformation and propaganda. In this thread I highlight key spreaders of disinformation, the chronology, and some points about some of the inauthentic activity evident. I will focus on X.
