Congratulations NASA....One small step for mankind, one giant leap for our future existence.

A complete waste of money in my opinion

You are either trying to create dialogue on the subject or you have failed to understand/appreciate the great advancements that space exploration has given the world… in my opinion.

The major problem for inexperienced stargazers, is that you tend to trip over hazards on the ground as you stare upwards.

Non stick frying pans are certainly a blessing.

ps ... space exploration expenditure is about the arms race not the well being of folk in Salop ... imho

Regardless of cost I find it fascinating.

Probably, but Hollywood always does it better than the real thing!!!

[Mervyn and Trish]

You've all been fooled.

The US didn't land on the moon in the 60s. They've not landed on Mars in 2021. It's all faked in the desert outside Hollywood.

The earth is flat, the holocaust didn't happen, Covid doesn't exist, and the vaccines have cameras and microphones implanted in them to see what you're doing when you should be at home.

[oldbluefox]

And the moon is made of cheese. Wallace said so.

Non stick technology was used in the making of the Atom bomb in 1945,the Manhattan project.
I agree with onelife, a really fantastic achievement after years of development.

Wow, it must have been so good it posted twice somehow

[Ray B]

Nope, must be seeing double.

Looks like someone need to explain things to Merv and Foxy..

It took 7 months to get there and 2 hours to send the pictures. Amazing.

Depending on the satellite position it only took 11 minutes for some of the pictures to get back

Most of that was standing waiting in the queue at Boots.

Crafty little swipe at Sky this morning when Matt Hancock was being questioned by Sophy Ridge over lockdown measures. He was asked: 'You want to vaccinate or offer a jab to everyone by the end of July, but you can't even tell us whether we'll be able to go on holiday in the summer? That does seem, to some people, a little bit ridiculous.'

He replied, 'Well, I know that everybody at Sky News is keen to be able to get back to having parties, and all of us, understandably, want to get back to normal.'
Ouch!!!!

Well done Matt, about time politicians started hitting back at these jumped up journalists.although she is quite tasty is Sophie.

[oldbluefox]

I agree screwy. Sophie is one of the better ones. Pity Matt wasn't being interviewed by Niall Paterson who is too full of his own importance. I get the distinct impression some of our politicians are getting a bit weary of some of the endlessly pointless questions being put their way.

[david63]

the endlessly pointless questions

Wait until tomorrow - "Can you tell us when the lockdown will finally end?", "When can we go on holiday?", "When will the pubs be open?", "Will we be able to have a proper Christmas this year?" etc.

[Bensham33]

I agree with you all about useless pointless questions from journalists both in the papers and TV.

But given the opportunity what question would you ask.

[Manoverboard]

Until the program of vacination is complete and deemed successful I wouldn't ask any questions

Well I certainly wouldn't be asking the same puerile questions all the time, presumably in the hope of catching the politicians out.

[oldbluefox]

It may help if they asked questions about what is happening now rather than what may happen in the future.

Just googled her, yes she's a little hottie isn’t she

So Prince Charles travelled two hundred miles to visit his father. Some Twitter bods are up in arms over it calling it double standards. I can see both sides of the argument. What do others think.
