These UK scientists should rightly be proud:
Moon base: Bangor scientists design fuel to live in space
An energy source which could sustain life on the Moon for long periods has been designed by researchers.

Not in 4k they won't.
This has to be one of the most stupid things Elon has done SpaceX wise and a real kick in the teeth to all the YT channels that have been covering all things SpaceX for years.

Space x has revealed the cause of the 1st ships separation stage failure
fuel leaks caused an internal fire after various engines failed and the fire burnt through the flight computer and once the computer was damaged the rocket could no longer control itself
The FAA has issued 63 corrective actions which Space X must implement before they can try again

I'd love to know how SpaceX is going to prevent further damage to the wildlife reserve right next to the launch site. They should never have been given permission to build a launch site for a prototype rocket there.
Watched this the other night, recent documentary on iPlayer. Really enjoyable.

Interesting watch. The title is a bit click bait, far more discussed than just humans going to Mars.
