Im sure someone can come up with a joke involving Trump, Farage and Uranus.

Rather Uranus than mine!

Talk show over here. They were discussing the talks Iran said weren't taking place. The Dutch for negotiationsmis "onderhandling". One of the guests said (in Dutch, I'm translating for you), Obviously he's "onderhandling" with himself. To which another quipped "despite getting caught by his mother, quite often".

That made I smile.

Women come from Venus, Men from Mars, DJT is coming for Uranus.

With current petrol prices I feel like they are currently going where no man has gone before (honest!)...

Back to the mission, looks like Nasa's official YouTube account will livestream the event, so bookmark it in anticipation:

I signed up on Nasa site as a virtual guest, interested to see what stuff I get through.

I can't believe Nasas Moon mission isnt hitting the headlines more. Due to launch 1st April and will take humans further than ever before.

As someone who wasn't around when they 1st went i think its exciting, even got my boarding pass which means my name gets to go around the moon too.

I share your fascination for such things, live stream quite a few launches and a few other bits. I also like to hear about the tech side, although I'm never convinced by scientists who insist we 'need' to explore space

Reported over here that recent tests have shown that procreation in reduced or zero gravity is much more difficult. It seems the "swimmers" no longer know which way to go.

Does this put the mockers on "plans" to populate the Moon or Mars?

Mars gravity is 38% that of earth so might be more feasible but can't imagine anyone born and raised there ever being able to come to earth.

Venus is very similar to earth gravity wise, just a tad warm.

Unlike you Sith, I’m a space travel/sci fi cynic. Rightly or wrongly it all leaves me cold.
Again, rightly or wrongly, my attitude tends to be…we have a planet, let’s sort the one we’ve got out before indulging further in some sort of macho space race at enormous expense with, imo, very little reward.

I’ll readily accept that I know very little and am more than a little ignorant on the subject but, as an obvious enthusiast, can you tell me how humankind has benefited from the numerous expeditions - from Yuri Gagarin onwards - in my lifetime?
