      Opinion: Trump’s Ukraine strategy puts Europe in a bind

      Given US President Trump’s transactional mindset, the escalating tension between Washington and Brussels may push the US closer to Russia By Sanjay Turi The dramatic mineral deal between the US and Ukraine evokes a famous quote from American attorney and President Nixon’s political adviser, Charles Colson: “When you have them by the balls, their hearts and minds will follow”.

      Do we need to change our old ‘Space’ laws?

      International Space Laws were created during the Cold War, when space exploration was shaped by military sensitivities. Now, private companies own 11,000 active satellites orbiting Earth Newcastle: In the first few months of 2025, there’s been a flurry of private venture space missions. Some have been successful, such as American company Firefly Aerospace landing its spacecraft Blue Ghost Mission 1 on the Moon. This was the first successful lunar landing of a privately owned spacecraft. But there have also been several recent failures. None have been more spectacular than the repeated explosions of tech billionaire Elon Musk’s SpaceX Starship rockets in January and March.
