The conference features speakers including the chief executives of Shell, Saudi Arabia’s Aramco and Norway’s Equinor, as well as the U.K.’s energy security minister. An Associated Press photographer saw officers speaking with Thunberg before leading her away and taking her into a police vehicle.Protesters attempted to block access to the conference venue by sitting on the sidewalk by the entrance. They held aloft banners and chanted “oily money out” and “cancel the conference,” while some lit yellow and pink smoke flares.Two Greenpeace activists abseiled down from the roof of the hotel to unfurl a giant banner reading “Make Big Oil Pay.” London's Metropolitan Police said that six people were initially arrested on suspicion of obstructing a highway during the protest. The force said a further 14 were detained on suspicion of disrupting public order, and one other person was detained for criminal damage.Police said they engaged in conversations with the protesters on allowing people to access the venue safely and prevent serious disruption to the hotel and guests, but some of the activists refused to move from the road.No charges have been issued yet.’We were linking arms when the police forced their way in and singled out Greta. She was dragged down the street at speed to a police van where they refused to say where she was being taken," said Joanna Warrington, an organizer with Fossil Free London who was at the demonstration.The protesters accuse fossil fuel companies of deliberately slowing the global energy transition to renewables in order to make more profit.“The world is drowning in fossil fuels. Our hopes and dreams and lives are being washed away by a flood of greenwashing and lies,” Thunberg told reporters before she was detained. “It has been clear for decades that the fossil fuel industries were well aware of the consequences of their business models, and yet they have done nothing.”“We cannot let this continue. The elite of the oil and money conference, they have no intention of transition,” she added. “We have no other option but to put our bodies outside this conference and to physically disrupt. And we have to do that every time, we have to continue showing them that they are not going to get away with this.”Police said those detained were taken into custody and that officers remained on site. Environmental groups say they will continue to protest throughout the planned forum, which is expected to last three days. Thunberg inspired a global youth movement demanding stronger efforts to fight climate change after staging weekly protests outside the Swedish Parliament starting in 2018. She was recently fined by a Swedish court for disobeying police during an environmental protest in Sweden.。但由于ESA中断与俄罗斯航天局的联系,两家机构停止关于从法属圭亚那发射联盟号火箭的合作事宜,俄罗斯航天局还从发射场撤走了87名员工。这一结果导致欧几里得太空望远镜不会搭乘俄罗斯联盟号火箭前往太空。ESA开始寻求用其他火箭发射太空望远镜,其中也包括美国的私人航天企业。据报道,NASA天体物理学部门主任马克·克拉姆平(Mark Clampin)周一在NASA天体物理学咨询委员会一次会议上表示,ESA可能会在2023年中后期用SpaceX的猎鹰9号火箭发射欧几里得望远镜。今年8月,ESA总干事约瑟夫·阿什巴赫(Josef Aschbacher)在接受采访时表示,ESA正在与埃隆·马斯克(Elon Musk)的SpaceX公司就使用猎鹰火箭实施发射任务进行初步讨论。当时,ESA还在SpaceX、日本或印度提供的火箭之间进行权衡。但阿什巴赫说,SpaceX“在这些火箭中更具操作性,肯定是我们正在考虑的备用发射计划之一”。ESA的另一个选择是法国阿丽亚娜太空公司的重型运载火箭,但新一代阿丽亚娜6号火箭的首飞要到明年才会进行。而ESA当下正面临着为联盟号火箭寻找替代火箭的压力。

B | ESA的阿什巴赫表示:“这是一个警钟,让我们意识到我们一直太依赖俄罗斯的联盟号火箭了。”欧洲航天局并不是唯一需要寻找替代火箭的机构。

C | 今年3月份,俄罗斯停止向美国供应火箭发动机,这使得诺斯罗普·格鲁曼公司宣布,将与萤火虫航空公司合作制造一款火箭,从而不再需要俄罗斯火箭发动机。然而,在新火箭准备就绪之前,为了执行与NASA签署的太空货运合同,诺斯罗普·格鲁曼公司不得不用SpaceX的猎鹰9号火箭将天鹅座宇宙飞船送往国际空间站。英国OneWeb公司也被迫与竞争对手SpaceX以及印度空间研究组织ISRO签署了一份合同,计划在今年晚些时候用这两家机构的火箭分6次将第一代互联网卫星送入轨道。从可行性角度来看,SpaceX的火箭最合适替代联盟号火箭,公司也正在接纳来自欧洲市场的新客户。猎鹰9号火箭计划在2022年12月发射SWOT测高卫星,这是NASA、法国航天局、加拿大航天局和英国航天局探测地表水和海洋地形的一项联合任务。今年猎鹰9号还有多达18次发射,而SpaceX的主要精力会放在更多的轨道旅行上。
