It's ridiculous. The most dangerous man on the planet by a long way, with abhorrent views, who is literally vandalising the night sky and hampering if not wrecking the work of astronomers.

Haha, thanks! To be honest I'm just feeling a bit numb at the moment. The world seems...insane, cruel & lost. Evil Nazi billionaires & hate-filled politicians seem determined to kill us all, retreating into their bunkers as the Earth burns. Hard to find motivation to write about anything.

Thank you, I always really appreciate your support, and the support of other friends in the "space community". Big contrast to others...
