State of the Game

Did someone say 1999?

l love the Eagle, one of my all time favourite ship designs. If you look at it I don’t think it would be unrealistic that the design couldn’t become reality, maybe Elon might do something similar when he starts to colonise the moon.

Yeah ditto - a great looking ship and the interchangable middle section makes perfect sense. Still does. #NerdRage

yes, sadly it's starting to merge into 'ull (that's Hull to you southerners).
Beverley and surrounding countryside is quite nice, Hull is a dock and ermmmmmm

I went to Hull once. Then I came home. It was nice to be home.

Like the famous Scunthorpe rule.

Or Derwentwater.

In th UK:
traditionally, a village doesn’t have a cathedral or a market but it will have a church.
Whereas a Town has a market
a City has a cathedral or university....

St Davids is interesting in that it is the smallest city in the UK due to it having a cathedral.

I went there once. It was very nice. It rained. It's in Wales, so.

I wish Derek Meddings was my uncle. He was a cool guy.

i imagine most ships in the forseeable future that land on places like the moon and such will have to land in a way that has their primary engine facing the gravity well. Unless we advance propulsion tech significantly via some other means than chemical rockets for high acceleration needs.

So i'd expect lunar landing type things and rocket shaped things for a long time. Space ships could only be designed in an interesting way if they are non-lander types.

Any rumour that my heart rate dipped into the '40s and I nearly collapsed after getting two jabs is a disgusting lie.

The oncoming slight fever will bring that heart-rate back up nicely

Better now? Sounds disconcerting ...

they didn't mention that. just a 5 year old girl came in saying that they had someone scared of needles needing some help.

I was fine after 30 mins and the nurses offered me water and chocolate biscuits.

This looks pretty standard for 1980s prog rock

 

[Bottom Hat]

Or Derwentwater.

That is a very useful place to know about, thanks mate. I wonder if I can mention the place in the Shetland Islands, called ?

You big softlad.

Did they have any battered biscuits to perk you up, or any perky staff?

They offered me some chocolate biscuits but I declined due to lack of batter on them.

With the moons gravity only being 1/6 of the earths I should imagine that liftoff could be accomplished with thrusters rather than the main engine, but I’m no scientist so probably wrong. Mars on the other hand I would agree with you.

Did they offer eggs?

And then you left?

Someone had to say it

But I'm glad you are OK.
