@ProfBrianCox Too true

[Brian Cox @ProfBrianCox]

I keep being asked what I make of the UFO thing in Congress yesterday, so here it is: I watched a few clips and saw some people who seemed to believe stuff saying extraordinary things without presenting extraordinary evidence. Therefore I have nothing more to say, other than: It would be great if true - it would take a bit of the pressure off our civilisation if we weren’t the only means within the Milky Way by which the Universe understands itself. Sadly, as of today, I still feel that pressure, so can we perhaps focus on not messing our world up rather than hoping that, to paraphrase Sagan, someone will float down to save us from ourselves.

@ChiefofAirStaff @RoyalAirForce @UKSpaceCmd A act of disgraceful disregard but also plain stupidity for Russia itself as it is damaging its own ability to use space for the environmental social and economic benefit of its own people!

@ChiefofAirStaff @NATO @RoyalAirForce @DefenceHQ Well said and very true

For the third time this year the #ISS has had to dodge a piece of uncontrollable #spacejunk. It's time the world came together to agree on #SpaceTrafficControl solutions! This should be a key strand of the #UK's national space stra…https://t.co/iRBMsftEvk https://t.co/0YLTXP1Sxf

@PPaulCharles @VirginAtlantic Agreed, horrible to see my favourite airline go down because of the virus but it’s still a tough road ahead. At my Virgin leaving party I predicted Virgin Galactic would one day be worth more than Virgin Atlantic but never would I have thought it would rescue it!

@PPaulCharles @ThePCAgency @AudienceNet @10DowningStreet @DfTstats @FCOtravel @grantshapps Very useful Paul thanks

@UKspace @NickShave12 @10DowningStreet @ASollowayUK @michaelgove @AlokSharma_RDG @OliverDowden @spacegovuk Well done Nick, welcome to your new role and well said!

This is indeed nonsense and some civil servant knows it and some politician is not able to see his own probably badly advised gobbledegook

[Martin Barstow @MartinABarstow]

Agreed. I wonder how many microseconds were spent thinking this up. Even I can think of more practical ideas on the way forward. The entertainment industry deserves more thought and genuine dialogue from Government.

@UNFCCC @ScottDuncanWX No reason to be complacent with extremes like this, even makes one hope for the short term palliative of a Maunder Minimum!

@PPaulCharles @TheSun @easyJet @British_Airways @lisaminot @ThePCAgency Well said Paul, from data from spreading events, flying is safer than many other activities if we don’t eat on short flights and wear masks. The most dangerous thing will probably be cycling to work, in cities rammed with cars because people are scared of public transport!

@kennybpb @NHSuk Of course you can see your parents, just get them to put their house on the market then go and view it!
