Hi there. I run a website (shameless plug for everyone else: www.astronomyaggregator.com ) and I've asked a couple of questions of you in the past when it comes to the whole CS project via twitter.

Theres a bunch of questions that I'd love to ask you about the TM65 engine and your plans for the next generation engine, since I run the site as a hobby while my day job is a mechanical engineering student.

Is there any chance I can publish those answers on my site as an article? Do you folks have an exclusivity agreement with Wired?

If so I'll just ask here.

Following your interview on Sunday Politics last week I have a question about the Green's defence policy.

1 - If, as you stated in the interview:

1) the UK were to abolish the armed forces but still retain a defence force;

2) the UK was no longer allowed to produce, export or import weapons systems or parts thereof;

arent these two in conflict with the UK obeying its obligations to NATO?

Under those obligations, we have to spend 2% of our GDP on defence, which we are just about doing now. Where would all that money go? It wouldnt go on arms or equipment because of (2). What would we do? Hug an enemy to death?

2 - How would we fulfill the obligation of NATO to provide collective defence of treaty members if all we have is a defence force without the means of deploying overseas?

When I went to Austria about two years ago for a work trip, I found a restaurant that did massive 60cm pizzas for about 7 or 8 euro (this is in Linz).

Is this typical across Austria?

Why did you post this AMA here and not on /r/ukpolitics?
