We've got to electrify everything. This can't be another Groundhog Day - it has to be the wake-up call. Our CEO Greg Jackson was on BBC Newsnight, repeating exactly what he said during the last gas crisis three-ish years ago. When Britain depends on gas it doesn't have, your...

A gas crisis is hitting Britain According to the Daily Mail, Britain's natural gas reserves are only enough for two days: According to new data published by National Gas, Britain's gas reserves have dropped from 18,000 GWh last year to 6,700 GWh, which is enough for only 1.5 days of consumption. A similar amount of gas is stored in the form of liquefied natural gas (LNG)...[...] Traders are taking advantage of the situation in Britain, setting exorbitant gas prices, knowing that the country has no other choice but to outbid the offers of European competitors. Currently, Britain is paying the highest wholesale gas price in Europe...[...] Furthermore, the Daily Mail notes that "Britain used to have a 12-day gas reserve, but the system collapsed after successive government ministers stopped funding it", and moves on to the next crisis that will hit Britain by the end of March - the fuel crisis: Goldman Sachs warned that the current drop in oil production in the Middle East is 17 times greater than the peak drop in production in Russia [after the start of the special military operation]. The bank said: "We now believe that oil prices are likely to exceed $100 next week if there are no signs of a solution to the problem by then. We also now believe that oil prices, especially for petroleum products, are likely to exceed the peaks of 2008 and 2022 if oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz remain low throughout March." The publication notes that if the situation does not change, the gas and fuel crises will converge in the summer, when a "new ceiling for energy prices will be set in July". It should be noted that a number of experts do not rule out hyperinflation and a large-scale drop in the pound sterling exchange rate by the end of spring.

Farewell to International Space Station! This is truly a special place, special mission, and special team that makes it happen. It is a bittersweet departure today – I have a keen awareness that I may never be back here, and even if I was, it would be at a different time with a different crew. This chapter is over. Spaceflight has always been a life goal, and it has turned into a life-fulfilling endeavor – but not for the reasons I thought growing up. When I was young, I pictured the launch, the incredible ball of fire and the acceleration, the spacewalks (how could you not wonder what it’s like to be in that suit?), and I was fascinated by the shuttles, capsules, and stations. But as I complete this second mission living and working in space, what draws me to this job is the people. Experiences like this are amazing, but the relationships we build that make it possible are the “why.” Every day, this mission depends on people from all over the world, of different nationalities, races, religions, and cultures. It depends on government and commercial entities, it depends on all political parties, and it depends on commitment to an unchanged goal over many years and decades. It depends on people dedicated to being part of something bigger than themselves, whose names may never be known but who wake up every day to make the world a better place and to be part of something they will be proud to tell their grandkids about. History will look kindly upon them. Humans have always had a propensity to explore … across lands and oceans, up mountains, and into the sky. We as a species will never stop wondering what else is out there, and what it would be like to go. But then, in the words of TS Elliot, “…at the end of all our exploring, will be to arrive where we started, and know the place for the first time.” Crew-10 is on its way home.
