@Asher_Wolf Ditto. My account has been locked (after 10 failed attempts) multiple times now. I’m just leaving it locked till I need it. Short of changing my email address that’s about all I can do.
Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space. - Douglas Adam’s.
Ministers can no longer deny access to freedom of information documents simply because the responsible minister has left office.
As @isreinecke asks, what secrets can now be unearthed?

In 2010, a nineteen year old Australian man named Sam Ballard spent an evening drinking with his friends in the back garden, when a slug came to their attention.
Being young and dumb and a bit inebriated, one of them suggested, as a dare, that Sam swallow the slug, which he did.
Some time later Sam started to complain of aches and pains and informed his parents of his foolhardy act, which they dismissed as irrelevant.
The sad truth is that the slug was carrying Rat Lungworm disease, a parasite called Angiostronjilus. Deposited in the faeces of an infected rat the slug picked it up and finally passed to the unfortunate man.
The parasite worked its way through its host’s system, finding its way to the brain and causing an inflammation that induced a coma lasting over 400 days.
On waking, he was completely paralyzed and was reliant on round-the-clock care in order to function. He finally succumbed to his condition and passed away in 2018.

So aliens fly across the galaxy in super advanced spacecraft navigating black holes, planets, suns and other space phenomena and then they…checks notes….crash on earth. Makes for a good case of regular stops when travelling 🤷♂️ #UFOHearing

It turns out the Barbie car is significantly out of compliance. 1/8
