We’re establishing the UK as a leading launch destination for the European space sector 🚀 @peterkyle delivered a speech @BBE_Europe's space conference as the government announced a £20M investment into @orbexspace’s Prime rocket launch.

Opinion polls often show lots of people personally willing to pay more tax. But they never ask the obvious follow-up question: how much more tax? We did. It wasn't pretty.
Twice as many people believe spending on public services should be increased even if it means tax rises for h/holds like theirs (56%), than agree taxes should be reduced for h/holds like theirs, even if it meant less spending on public services (24%) https://t.co/1NCvobeBpQ

Dan talking sense once again.
I'm not talking much about the general election tax debate. Because it's irrelevant. The few £bn being discussed is dwarfed by the actual tax UK tax increases over the last few years, and the further tax increases we'll almost certainly see in the future. Grumpy thread:

Great thread. Aerospace is cool.
The F-14's Wing Center Section🧵 The F-14’s Wing Center Section (WCS) is made of Ti-6AL-4V α–β titanium alloy in the annealed state (UTS ≈ 896 MPa), probably the most commonly used titanium alloy in the aerospace industry. Photo: David Baranek

Massive achievement by the whole Orbex team! Co-axial tanking is a game-changer in space launch.
We're very happy to announce that we have been granted an international patent across more than 12 countries to protect our innovative coaxial tanking technology, which nests the main rocket fuel tank within the main oxidizer tank. Read more: https://t.co/YuYhytp1NX

Good photo of Alan Bates. I should know. I took it, when there weren’t that many people interested in the #PostOfficeScandal. Now the @Telegraph have stolen it. I asked them to contact me last week when they used it without permission. They didn’t.
