Having received a very lovely email asking about some Early Years Engineering careers guidance, I thought I would create a Video Newsletter to share my response! Link below:

Watch Juno zoom past Jupiter. NASA's robotic spacecraft Juno is continuing on its now month-long, highly-elongated orbits around our Solar System's largest planet. The featured video is from perijove 16, the sixteenth time that Juno passed near Jupiter since it arrived in mid-2016. Each perijove passes near a slightly different part of Jupiter's cloud tops. This color-enhanced video has been digitally composed from 21 JunoCam still images, resulting in a 125-fold time-lapse. The video begins with Jupiter rising as Juno approaches from the north. As Juno reaches its closest view -- from about 3,500 kilometers over Jupiter's cloud tops -- the spacecraft captures the great planet in tremendous detail. Juno passes light zones and dark belts of clouds that circle the planet, as well as numerous swirling circular storms, many of which are larger than hurricanes on Earth. As Juno moves away, the remarkable dolphin-shaped cloud is visible. After the perijove, Jupiter recedes into the distance, now displaying the unusual clouds that appear over Jupiter's south. To get desired science data, Juno swoops so close to Jupiter that its instruments are exposed to very high levels of radiation.

How to unify physics, get rid of the awful dark matter hypothesis & make interstellar travel a reality: https://t.co/pfUK5mueyv

[Mike McCulloch @memcculloch]

Happy to announce that my new book will be out on July 15th this year! I'll announce the title soon, but it introduces 54 solid & major anomalies that falsify present physics, describes the new physics that explains them (#QI) & talks about its applications.

[Mike McCulloch @memcculloch]

The front and back pages of my new #QI book have been finalised and they look fantastic. I've redone some of the cartoons... The publisher is moving fast. Can't wait to get it out there!

[Mike McCulloch @memcculloch]

What test of #QI would most convince you, if we built a stacked set of capacitors (along with other enhancements) into a thruster thus:

[Mike McCulloch @memcculloch]

The UK Space Agency passed on funding #QI, for now, so I'm sat unfunded in Devon with a much better physics (proven in 26 peer reviewed papers), that gets rid of dark matter & predicts a major step up for tech: thrust, energy & interstellar travel. Follow to see how I break thru!

[Richard Mansell @RaMansell]

@3DX3EM @memcculloch @ivo_ltd We look forward to continuing to work with @RogueSpaceCorp , but would definitely be open to additional opportunities that would get us into orbit sooner than 2025! If you know of one, let us know. We can have the Drives ready in less than 12 weeks.

[Mike McCulloch @memcculloch]

It is a shame we no longer have a lab. A paper will come out on what we did, but it was an ideal situation. A combination of my theoretical directions & @Arundal_Astro willing & brilliantly able to set it up. We found out a lot that cannot yet be revealed & some may be lost #QI

[Richard Mansell @RaMansell]

Sadly, Barry-1 had ongoing power-system issues on the bus through LEOP, and after two months of operations, towards the end of LEOP, @RogueSpaceCorp lost communication with the satellite. @ivo_ltd never had the opportunity to test the #QI Quantum Drive.

[Mike McCulloch @memcculloch]

I was very sorry to hear about the demise of Barry-1, but I'm sure @ivo_ltd will try again. Space is hard but the upside of these #QI tests, theoretically (deeper physics), technically (better thrust/power) & financially, will be astronomical & lab tests so far have been +ve.

[Mike McCulloch @memcculloch]

I was honoured to give a talk at the Charlottesville Astro Soc last night (between 12.30-1:30am for me!). Here's a plot I showed from our submitted paper. A previous capacitor test done by HONDA & the four tests recently done, the #QI-predicted & observed thrusts. Agreement:

[Mike McCulloch @memcculloch]

Testing #quantisedinertia in space is the next step, but it has been tested successfully in peer reviewed papers on galaxies, wide binaries, Proxima & much more. Recently its capacitor thrust has been seen in four labs, several in vacuum: California (1st), IVO, Italy & Plymouth.

[Mike McCulloch @memcculloch]

I have now a slightly deeper model for the #QI capacitor. It looks the same mathematically, but I have replaced some crude concepts such as "electrons hitting the anode" (that some criticised me for) with a slightly deeper interpretation of the transfer of momentum.

[Mike McCulloch @memcculloch]

Today's conundrum is to figure out if indeed a multi-capacitor #QI interstellar craft can be powered by an RTG. Basic electronics meets quantum cosmology (QI), meets the nascent interstellar transport industry.

[Mike McCulloch @memcculloch]

No word yet re my application to #Cambridge & the #IVOsat has not been switched on, but I'm busy taking account of all @robert_zubrin comments on my new book & reviewers' comments on the Proxima & lab-test papers. Patience w/ what I can't control, keep working on what I can!

@AngelicaOung In 2018, DARPA contracted @memcculloch to prove it could be done

McCulloch achieved the goal and was paid in full. The project milestones were met. He is in the process of getting a formal paper published that describes the multiple different experiments at different labs.

[Mike McCulloch @memcculloch]

I've been wanting to do this for ages, but these guys may have done it. Brilliant! Unruh radiation is consistent with the Larmor formula, the known emission of radiation by accelerated charges. This builds another bridge between #QI & everything else https://t.co/UHsl2FziLR

[Mike McCulloch @memcculloch]

A nice idea of @ivo_ltd's was to include two #QI quantum drives of different specification on the satellite, so that by combining the thrust they could show the force was due to the capacitors & not summat else: https://t.co/67u7Mrs7us
