From #PhysicsWorld:
"Physics World understands that Fermilab – the US’s premier particle-physics lab – suspended its DEI office and its women in engineering group in January. Meanwhile, the Fermilab LBGTQ+ group, called Spectrum, was ordered to cease all activities and its mailing list deleted. Even the rainbow “Pride” flag was removed from the lab’s iconic Wilson Hall."

#PhysicsWorld 🇬🇧 "the official line from the #government 🏢 is that #SpaceLaunch facilities will be a boon to the #UK economy, swelling UK industry capitalization from £17 billion now to £40 billion 💰 by 2030. One hurdle is #competition. There are around 168 #LaunchCompanies around the world 🌏, at different stages of development. Even if many fall by the wayside the #LaunchMarket will inevitably become crowded, making it a challenge for UK #SpacePorts to compete.
#Skyrora uses #Ecosene, a premium kerosene derived from unrecyclable #plastic waste 🗑️. #Orbex uses the renewable ultralow-carbon fuel #BioLPG. #ClearSpace and #Astroscale are designing missions to remove #SpaceDebris." https://physicsworld.com/a/uk-spaceports-the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly#OpenStreetMap aerospace:product in #UK 🇬🇧 https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1sz3

So I was going through old issues of #PhysicsWorld and came across this gem. Who says physicists (and editors) don't have a sense of humour?
