I got to wondering about how machine tools and optics could be made to nanometre precision.
And how much the machine tools would cost.

The world Kelvin standard, small mirrors for the James Webb and Extremely Large Telescope, and more. Precision manufacturing at Cranfield.

ABC News:

‘Russian missiles have hit Ukraine’s southern port of Odesa, the Ukrainian military says, threatening a deal signed just a day earlier to unblock grain exports from Black Sea ports and ease a global food shortage caused by the war.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the strike showed Moscow could not be trusted to implement the deal.’

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has sacked his junior shadow transport minister who joined striking rail workers on a picket line.

Ilford South MP Sam Tarry attended the protest at London’s Euston station despite Sir Keir saying his frontbench MPs should stay away.

Speaking to reporters, Mr Tarry said “any Labour MP” would have “absolute solidarity with striking workers”.
