Life hasn't been so fun lately. I worked my ass off to get in the best shape of my life. I the. lost 2kg in the space of 4 days due to recent personal stuff, but through hard work I've gained it back and I'm still building! I basically live in the gym now 😂 but it's so worth it!

1) I said this in a previous post but I've had to time away from socials and my channel in general due to dealing with difficult personal circumstances. I'm planning on coming back but I'll be sticking with a downscaled output for a while. I appreciate all the support and hope you stick around!

Have taken time away from socials for a while to deal with personal issues and I come back to Musk denigrating yet another astronaut!?

A post from my chum regarding a video from me regarding the latest UK space news (which I negated to post properly here earlier today 😂). Can we keep this going round??
Anyway, we talk Saxavord, RFA, Skyrora, Orbex and HyImpulse.
Will we finally see launches in 2025? Watch and find out!

Wow, that Royal Rumble ending sucked. First one I've watched live in years and damn did they do CM Punk dirty. I know it's all storytelling but surely gives him the main event? He probably won't get another at his age. Jey is hella over, but a main eventer? I'm not feeling it.

I can't say enough how heartbreaking dementia is to deal with professionally, let alone for the families and the sufferers themselves.
By 2050, the global cost of dementia is projected to be $1.6 trillion.
To lift that many bills into geosynchronous orbit, it would take 192,771 @SpaceX Falcon 9 launches. With #Starship? -- 76,190 launches . 🚀
The financial toll will be astronomical—and it falls on families. Repost 💜

Finally watched ep 9 of #LowerDecks and while I get the hype about Garashir, Harry and the other cameos, which were all cool, I'm so here for more T'Pol! So great to finally have Jolene back in the Star Trek Universe. I'm not ready for tonight's finale.

I struggle to remember to post here too, though engagement on any platform seems minimal at this point. Still, if you're a space fan, I put out a new video a few days ago talking about the latest news from the UK space scene.

Been getting back into Battlefield 1 in a big way lately. Even 7 years on, imho it's still the finest war-based FPS of all time. The audio, visuals, gameplay and brutality of the battles is just spectacular.
