A post from my friend @urbanspaceman64.bsky.social about a video by me 😁. What led to the collapse of Orbex? Let's dive in and have a look. I'm trying to boost my reach so please share far and wide if you see it. #space #rockets #creator #fortheloveofgodarewestilldoinghashtags

Welp, I only put this out at 8am today and already the situation has changed for Orbex, who have called in the administrators. An update will follow as the story develops. But go and give the video a watch to hear my thoughts on where it all went wrong. youtu.be/8pFLYtJDKME

Proof that the gym CAN be sweet and inviting. A place for love, for passion... 😂😂. The tunes in this place always crack me up, I love it. #gymlife #gymtunes 😂

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!? Time to go digging for the good news and share some positivity.

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.

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. youtu.be/JwHNZPddkmc

I promise I’ll get posting more space-y stuff soon. I’ve been recovering from surgery this week, but hoping normal service will resume shortly. In the meantime, take a look at www.youtube.com/@ntkspace which I’m trying to build up. Ta!

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.

Europa Clipper update from the other site: "our spacecraft remains in a nominal state – power positive, thermally stable, dynamically stable, and in two-way communication with ground teams. [..] in a commissioning phase to confirm that all hardware and software is operating as expected."

Hey new people from Twitter/X. If you're interested in space and history, my next video will be dropping this Sunday on YouTube and it's the biggest project I've done to date outside of my usual news content. If you're into spaceflight, let's connect and build bluesky team space!

Meet the fine folks from Orbex at Space Comm Expo in Glasgow next week. How about if you snap a pic with the model rocket, tag your name + Prime, eg #TomPrime, let's see 'em!.
