"I do think it is amazing that it isn’t much bigger news. The furthest anyone has ever gone into space should be a big thing." This extra distance is tiny, so it's been done before with far less technology. So this time, no big deal. | |||

"I’ve always been interested in rocket and shuttle launches, so I’ll try and watch it live whilst I’m at work. I am hoping they do land on the moon in future missions. It’s strange to think it’s taken so long for them to get back there" or did they ever land there? | |||

The extra distance is small in the scheme of things and yes, it has been done before but for you its no big deal. For me, I find it fascinating. Sitting on top of a tank of fuel and being propelled out of our beuatiful planets atmospere, to me is crazy. I guess if it bacame more day to day it would become less intriging to me 🤷♂️ | |||

The irony is the Americans have spent god knows how many billions to try to build up the soft power of America with this mission and trump has just pissed all over it, then himself and his team too. The foolishness of man has never been so obvious." 😴 | |||

Presumably so he can say he was president at the time and take all the credit for it.  | |||

There is a distinction, though. The pool of private money is vastly larger than the pool of public money. That said, we spent nearly a trillion supporting everyone through Covid, yet people still balk at even modest tax rises, so the chances of society willingly handing over enough to solve these problems properly seem fairly slim. And in terms of the difference $92bn can actually make, look at what Bill Gates has already given away, way more than that, and then ask whether Africa looks fundamentally transformed. That says less about generosity and more about the sheer scale and complexity of the problems. And even if you diverted money away from food or pharma, many of the same incentives would just recreate the same concentrations of wealth elsewhere. The people most inclined to maximise advantage tend to find their way into positions where they can do exactly that. So you'd see the Elon Musk of pork pies and sausage rolls throwing his weight around. | |||

Neither will be a good day for you. " A death in the depths of the sea would be instantaneous. IN space, you have 30 seconds (I think) of suffering. You're blood would boil inside you and your skin freeze, unless you were in the glare of the sun, in which case you'd be burnt alive. I'd take the sea. | |||
