While Elon Musk’s SpaceX Starship has just completed its ninth flight having already rescued NASA astronauts earlier this year, the UK Space Agency has been hard at work hiring climate change pen-pushers. Who’s surprised…

They’re advertising for an “Environmental Sustainability Lead” on £61,000 to busy themselves with “championing sustainability and the environment” by “reducing waste”, “improving biodiversity”, and “driving progress toward Net Zero” while “embedding long-term environmental change”. They’re also after an “Earth Observation Climate Services Lead” – also on £61,000 – to “oversee climate-related aspects” and brief ministers on “climate sustainability”. Total cost: £122,000…

• Hire 3 Space Technology Facilities Managers at UKSA
• Hire 4 new police constables
• Buy 2,178 waterproof army combat boots

Taxpayers can guess which organisation out of SpaceX or UKSA is more likely to get us to Mars. UK DOGE recommends costs are cut here…
