why don't we use this for long-term space travel :-) ?? anybody wants to have a closer look into this?

a lot in this reads like our Aurora plan about seven years ago ...

did not know about this heroic! experiment to wear the same underwear for two months!

still - 13 years of success is not bad!!

what a live, what an interesting person!

what to think about that? spoiling important ressources, smart idea?, and is it really cheap?

I am quite amazed that they apparently still use the capsules to return the pictures??? Hard to believe .... "Kobalt spacecraft reportedly carry canisters to return film to Earth during the satellite's mission, which will last at least several months."

not sure what to make of this. seems like an odd change of direction "Spaceports will be key to us opening up the final frontier of commercial space travel," said Chief Secretary to the Treasury Danny Alexander at the announcement of the new sites. Mr Alexander hinted that the plans could lead to Scotland becoming the home of the UK's commercial space ambitions, even as the Scottish government warns that only independence will secure a successful space industry for the country.
