Dear BlueSkyers. Sadly I'm getting many reports of scammers pretending to be me here, incl messaging people with 'investments' . Pls share/help me spread word that, as you know, THIS IS MY ONLY BLUE SKY account (proved as my handle is an official MoneySavingExpert one). All others are scams

The Orion / Meade / Coronado auction was a huge bust. Lots of complaints, rumors of legal actions. Rumor this morning that GSO was buyer is not true (I asked them).

I hope Toyota don't withdraw from this technology, if it's good enough for our Sun 🌞 it's got to be the future for fuel energy.

Invest in the hydrogen production and convert the petrol stations to hydrogen, has to be long term better the the EV route?

A much nicer 'Space' to be!
Hello to those of you joining us here 🙂
Our account at Twitter/X is still alive for now but most of the science stuff seems to be happening over here. It's much more pleasant isn't it? The feed is full of wonderful science related posts, not political jibes and bigots.
Plus, it works with Firefox!
