Absolutely staggering statistic. Who/what’s going to be the SpaceX to Augustine’s law? (Augustine’s law = exponentially rising military aircraft costs mean that by 2054 the entire US defence budget will purchase on aircraft)

It’s been one year since we launched Astra, our campaign to build the Next Generation @RoyalAirForce, laying the foundations for our air and space force of the future. We now have over 1400 Astra Ambassadors across 30 Stations empowered to take us there. #RAFAstra #NextGenRAF

Calling all the UK’s budding aerospace engineers: I need you to help me design and build a rocket for launching a satellite into space. Dream big. Details in the image. #NextGenRAF #Astra @STEMclubs @CorpsSTEM @rafyouthengage

“success is sequential: great teams build great technology. So getting the people right is the first priority: ‘People, ideas, technology – in that order’.” @ReDefPod thearmyleader.co.uk/reimagining-de…

There aren’t many days that we welcome the UK Cmdr of a new domain, but fabulous to see Paul Godfrey’s name in star dust. No shoes to fill, but loads to do...@Godderstwit @RoyalAirForce @RoyalNavy @BritishArmy @UKStratCom @DefenceHQ
