Elfen is progressing fast & it is really fun to be working with the fantastic engineers @SpaceParkLeic, @umclasp @ImperialPhysics @WarwickPhysics & our growing international science consortium
Two mission proposals led by @uniofleicester receive £500K @spacegovuk funding. SIRIUS would examine nearby stars to understand how they affect the environment their planets orbit in, whilst Elfen would study the impact of ions on Earth’s magnetosphere. space-park.co.uk/2024/08/new…

Para frenar al desierto solo hay un camino. Pasar de pensar en cómo gestionar la escasez a diseñar planes para crear abundancia. Es posible. Ya se ha hecho antes. Se llama regeneración.
Cualquier plan contra la sequía que no aborde esto está abocado al fracaso. Y sus ventajas van mucho más allá de retener agua.
