If only there were a modern alternative to GSM-R. Our @networkrail train system is outdated in so many ways. Maybe #nationalisation will fix it 🤣 #rail #satcom

Great news on #HS2 - throwback to this post from 3 years ago. But still no plans to develop improved signalling to increase rail capacity? 🚂 🇬🇧 🛑
Will #HS2 be useful? Yes. Will it cost >£100B? Yes. Could we upgrade whole of GB rail infra for <10% of that by redesigning #signalling? Yes. So why not?

Just finished the best non-fiction book I’ve ever read. Not just the remarkable family story, but a history of modern China, a bit about art, stoicism and above all a reminder of how cruel people can be to other people. Wish I’d seen Sunflower Seeds @Tate Happy birthday @aiww!

Fair piece about #space on @BBCMoreOrLess shows an even stronger message is “space is just 0.3% of UK GDP but supports 18% of it”, similar to how internet supports wider economy. 👍🇬🇧🛰 @SpaceEconomics @seraphim_space

The reason it’s vital to preserve our 🇬🇧 #democracy against #corruption #hypocrisy #cronyism and the likes of #BorisJohnson (from whatever party) is because this is the end result: Inside North Korea: “We are stuck, waiting to die” bit.ly/3qHoJPQ via @BBCNews

The Chair @CommonsSITC also asked about measuring progress (previously “rowing back on targets” ie ditching the famous 10% sector target) and apparently new metrics are just weeks away #spaceUK 🇬🇧 🛰

That’s what I would say too #2023DZ2
A newly discovered #asteroid named 2023 DZ2 will safely pass by Earth on Saturday at 100K miles away. 🌎 While close approaches are a regular occurrence, one by an asteroid of this size (140-310 ft) happens only about once per decade, providing a unique opportunity for science.

The UK has always been a horrible place to license a satellite, that's why we setup our Berlin office. BNETZA and DLR are great to workwith, would be worth learning from bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-co…
