Starting this week, a UK Parliament select committee is attempting understand how public attitudes to the green energy transition are changing, and what is driving those changes.

What caught my eye is Redwire celebrating its lunar and Martian manufacturing technology – Mason – passing a Critical Design Review (CDR) with NASA. It’s a tool suite for the construction of berms (mounds), landing pads and roads for future lunar and Martian habitats. The project is part of a $12.9 million award from NASA’s Space Technology Mission Directorate.
