Great to hear that this space launch project got planning approval to go ahead. However, I have heard from other proponents for similar projects that planning approval is really difficult as there is no one point of contact for proponents to go to get State and Commonwealth approval. It would be useful to have a national integrated planning pathway for these kind of projects. Particularly for projects of such national importance: https://lnkd.in/gbRTPQaw

Dug this one up when cleaning out my garage (and yes, thats still a "thing") 🏡 One of the first marketing projects I worked on in the early 2000's 🛰 First time I experienced a public-private partnership. Here are some advantages associated with them. 🤝 ▶ Resource Mobilization: PPPs allow for the pooling of resources from both the public and private sectors. This can include financial resources, expertise, and technology, leading to more comprehensive and effective projects. 💸 ▶ Efficiency and Innovation: Private sector involvement often brings efficiency and innovation to public projects. Private companies may bring new technologies, management practices, and cost-effective solutions that can enhance project outcomes. 💡 ▶ Timely Project Delivery: Private sector efficiency and expertise can accelerate project delivery. Private companies are often motivated by profit, which can drive them to complete projects on time and within budget. ⏰ ▶ Quality Improvement: Competition within the private sector can lead to higher quality standards. Private companies may be incentivized to deliver better services to maintain their reputation and competitiveness. ▶ Job Creation: PPP projects often create job opportunities, both directly through project implementation and indirectly through increased economic activity in the surrounding area. ▶ Long-term Sustainability: PPPs can promote long-term sustainability by aligning the interests of both sectors. The private sector's focus on profitability can ensure the continued viability and maintenance of projects over the long term. #PublicRelations #InvestorRelations ❤️ #NASA

Northern #German (#Bremen, #Bremerhaven, #Hamburg) R&D innovations (inside companies, universities, government agencies), and commercial enterprise development, have become a real force inside the worldwide #SpaceTechnology industry. My newest article for R&D - Research & Development World (published by WTWH Media LLC) digs into the details … https://lnkd.in/guvzEXMS

In the last 5 years the number of objects launched into space every year has grown 5x!! This trend is continuing, creating growing concern and risk around more space objects and debris in orbit, as well as their potential impact if a collision occurs. Interesting in hearing more?! Then join this event tonight and lets discuss together!

Thrilled to share the news that I've been honoured with the Senior Whitworth Scholarship Award! 🏆 This not only brings crucial financial support for my PhD research in deep learning methods for pedestrian-level wind assessment but also opens doors to a dynamic network of successful engineers across disciplines via the Whitworth Society. 🌐 Grateful for this opportunity to advance my work and contribute to these fields.

Another milestone unlocked 🚀 Story time: Long ago, at a family gathering, my cousins and I engaged in star gazing. One of my elder siblings shared that a star symbolizes someone who has passed away, pointing out Sirius as our grandpa who left when I was 1. I was told that the blinking of the star was its way of communicating with us. Over time, I realized it was merely a distant energy source. Last semester, a friend covered extraterrestrial construction materials by Naser, reigniting my curiosity for space. I decided to self-study space and architecture, gradually improving my understanding through consistency and persistence. After trial and error, I chose the path I'm truly passionate about. The experience with the DEEP SPACE INITIATIVE has been mesmerizing. I remember receiving the acceptance email on 25/01/2023, it was an out-of-this-world feeling. During this timeframe, I was honored to meet Sara Sabry in person. Grace Crain-Wright, your mentorship through the Andromeda Research Program has solidified my views on life support systems in space. It was great to work with the master in the field. Once again, I am grateful for the opportunity, and the learning from this program will always excel in my career as a space architect #spacearchitect #achievement #deepspace #researcher #spacehabitat #lifesupport #scientific

Hey, U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), so, like...we ALL already get that we've made contact with aliens a ton of times (shoutout to #chile). So...where's the cool shit to hack out of this climate crisis/there's no room to move around... so it's like a coffin...and we could probably fix a lot of it by investing in mass transit to Mars tech that we ALLL know you have?* OH REALLY? You want to deliver your own damn food to yourselves? That's great! Because those canned goods are DEFINITELY gonna be on par with Le Diplomat's menu - and you won't have to worry about being photographed... #dcinsider #postmates #costbenefitanalysis Do you REALLY think your thirst for #war is going to be quenched by ANY type of achievement? NOPE. I know allll your types of types. Trouble with making your business all about destroying things....it traps you into a path that works AGAINST the force of creation. #art And you know how well that goes. Starts out as good architecture and turns into square blocks that people call home because the toilets have 2 buttons. So yeah...be like...where's the fuel and the underground bunker is gonna suck more than a spaceship because there will be NO LADDERS TO CLIMB. Stop hoarding inventions. No one has time for your PhD-dick-sucking wannabe hierarchies. What on Earth could you possibly be so afraid of? #Letsgotomars #butlikeverybody #worksmarter #magnets #uap #ufo #aliens #nsacomedyoutreachprogram #ufo #ciasanityoutreachprogram #quantumentanglement #sobored #futurenow *I don't feel like going through this whole me bothering the DOE thing...

Interested in the #geology of #Switzerland? Take a ride to quaternary to recent S2S system in which they were exposed to the topics of sediment generation, export and sedimentation in a populated area, hence looking in detail at the challenges posed by natural risks and societal needs. Observations were completed in glaciated and transient systems of the Walliser Alps, as well as modern active braided systems and fan deltas in the Thun Lake in the prealpine nappe.
