Anyone else wonder how Spiff stuck his head through the bars of his cell?

Would it be possible to use @[email protected]'s Lemmyverse or @[email protected]'s crowdsourced recommendations, or would that be too difficult to implement?

I didn't, but the Rosalind Franklin rover did.

Greta idea, but how is this related to proportional representation?

A bit more recent, but similar: To the Roman empire, the Egyptian pyramids are as ancient as the Roman empire is to us. Also, at the time the pyramids were built, the wooly mammoth had not quite gone extinct.

And there's a special extra issue solely devoted to the events at the Moomin house?

Launch thread with more details here.

 

The UK Engagement with Space Committee was established by the House of Lords in January 2024. As a special inquiry committee, its primary aim is to examine how the UK can effectively engage with the rapidly evolving global space industry and ensure that national policies, regulations and investments serve the country’s long-term interests.

During its 24 March session, the committee heard from six expert witnesses across two panels. The second panel focused on the United Kingdom’s need to develop its own launch capacity and featured testimony from Scott Hammond, Deputy CEO of SaxaVord Spaceport; Alan Thompson, Head of Government Affairs at Skyrora; and Adam Baker, Co-founder of UK Launch Services.

In response to a question asking what the case was for the UK possessing a sovereign launch capability, Adam Baker explained that the country was the “only well-developed space economy in the world who not only doesn’t have it, but we did have it, and we gave it away.” This is a reference to the UK’s decision to cancel its Black Arrow launch programme in the early 1970s, despite having successfully placed a satellite into orbit.
