Your great-grandmother spent 5yrs of her 20s enduring World War 2 & then enjoyed another 70 more years of fun-packed life afterwards. You’ve done 5 months of mild inconvenience by comparison ..... get a grip. https://t.co/wRFEyX2BON

Here's a compilation of footage from our @blueorigin New Shepard suborbital space flight on Tuesday. The Clockwork Starfish inside BORE-II are released into free flight, regolith streams onto their magnetized collectors, and they evert to trap the samples.

The IEA's new 2020 WEO sees coal going into structural decline, never recovering to its 2013/2015 peak.

Its hard to overstate how important this is. Nightmare emissions scenarios where coal dominated the 21st century are much less likely, even if we still have huge lift to <2C. pic.twitter.com/SGpMUYabc6
A lot of you have sent DMs to me asking whether or not Renault in 2010 or Renault in 2011 should count as Renault's last podium - and then I received an e-mail about it from the Renault F1 Team themselves, who prefer to recognise 2010 instead. This was my response: pic.twitter.com/Zw10iTsWD5

Please, everyone: technical potential studies aren't all that useful except as an extreme upper bound on practical, developable potential. Rough rule of thumb: practical potential is an order of magnitude less!
