Although Boeing got $4.2 billion to develop an astronaut capsule and SpaceX only got $2.6 billion, SpaceX finished 4 years sooner. Note, the crew capsule design of Dragon 2 has almost nothing in common with Dragon 1. Too many non-technical managers at Boeing.


Would you like to (1) understand the #challenges of #NetZero; (2) meet with the distinguished #Energy experts; (3) explore the #careeropportunity development and #job opportunities? @SchoolofEng_UoB

PM @RishiSunak, I urge you not to change the graduate visa. We must keep the two-year post-graduation work visa for international students. To change it would hugely damage our precious UK universities. @UKCISA @UUKIntl @APPGIS @RussellGroup @10DowningStreet
