    I don’t think it’s financially viable for us, Europe, America or Russia to do it. I think the Chinese will probably be the ones to do it. Or even a private individual like Musk. Cheers.

    Or, as film director Micheal Curtiz said to Niven and Flynn during the filming of The Charge Of The Light Brigade; “ You bums think I know f**k nothing ! Well let me tell you, I know f**k ALL “ ! Cheers.

    I’ve been spending my days lately in the bucolic setting of my allotments growing vegetables and raising poultry, so I enjoy the cut and thrust of intelligent discourse on here to achieve a balanced lifestyle! Cheers.

    “ Do you want the one page argument or the hundred pager ? “. Cheers.

    I think “argument “ covers a range of discussions; from civilised debate to aggressive verbal confrontation. I enjoy the former but avoid the latter. What I dislike is when an argument is being lost and the adversary resorts to “what aboutery “ and moving the goal posts, which is usually the modus operandi on here ! LOL ! Cheers.

    My daughter used to bring me this Bols Geneva Gin from Amsterdam. Comes in a genuine Delft bottle. Cheers.

    I sometimes get a bottle of that from Lidl. As long as you don’t compare it to a high end bourbon its a pleasant enough sipping whiskey or with a splash of cola, ice and lemon or lime . Cheers.

    Just think off a 747 cargo aircraft , fully loaded, weighing almost 450 ton, the thrust required to get that in the air is minute compared to a Saturn V thrust. SV India Uniform an aircraft I worked on from new; But I’m afraid we may be physically abusing a deceased equine, as we’ve been through this scenario many times in the past. If someone won’t believe in the moon landings, that’s fine, it’s their opinion or belief, but I’m giving up trying to convince them ! Cheers.

    Are you for real ? ”no pictures of earth ” ? Mate, I f you disbelieve everything that’s fine, but do a little research and you’ll find plenty of pictures of earth. I find it strange that you only look for the impossible, never the possible. Cheers.

    It’s difficult to describe the Van Allen belt in layman’s terms, but it isn’t a uniform sphere surrounding the earth Very, VERY basically, imagine a donut as the belt and a marble sitting in the hole, as the earth. Im not an astrophysicist, so I can only go by what they tell us, but this may give an idea how a spacecraft can get past the Van Allen belt. Cheers.

    chartpolski replied to DIDO.1's topic in General Talk

    Correct. Defence contractors were given the report first, then the press and last was MP’s . The Speaker of the House was less than pleased and said Labour may be in breach of Parliamentary standards. One companies share price went up 7% before MP’s were informed. Nothing will happen though, just (shady) business as usual ….. Cheers.

    I was reading just the other day that one fault, or faulty sensor, can bring on numerous warning lights, a sort of knock on effect. Problem is finding which one is the actual fault ! Cheers.

    Mate, my car passed the mot two days ago, but on the way home the service light came on. I immediately thought it had something to do with the mot test ! When I got home I noticed the odometer had just hit 75,000 miles, so I presumed, not unreasonably, that it wasn’t a fault and it was just informing me a service was due. Anyhow, I looked in the hand book for how to reset the light. It said to put the ignition on , depress the accelerator fully, pump the brakes three times and hold in the button on the end of the indicator wand for 20 seconds. After half an hour of trying this

    Because all the non-vacs are certified conspiracy theorists ? Sorry Scotty mate, I couldn’t resist ! LOL ! Cheers.

    My simple answer to that Francie, mate, is that I don’t know. Its way above my knowledge and I wouldn’t be stupid enough to pretend I do know . I’m a retired aircraft engineer and I’m still amazed at how an aircraft fully laden with cargo weighing a hundred ton can get off the ground, never mind fly ! I couldn’t explain how radio waves or x-rays work, not my field of expertise or education, but I know all these things work. I am 100% certain man has walked on the moon, I don’t have all the answers , but I don’t have the answers to many things. Just because I don’t unde
