Does SpaceX have the capability of leaving LEO? and what about the Van Allen belts?

Shall I post another poll with 2 options?

1. Not planning anything
2. Will wait and see

I welled up watching this as it made me think of all those less fortunate than myself who don't have company at home and away from home through all this

Worth watching a few times like when he goes to sleep in his suit and works in his pyjamas BTSIDIGTTS

This page is definitely worth bookmarking

It's encouraging that the Kent variant has not kept up the numbers of infections in the SE

Can you really trust info coming out of Israel? Why can't you trust these data, or the information? Here's some data concerning periods of Covid-19 infection time for you to consider. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(21)00425-6/fulltext I thought the deal behind Israe...

Completely agree about ambience, I probably went to pubs a dozen times between the July reopening and November lockdown. There are lots of lovely outdoor ones with beer gardens locally which I tried to support but eventually the need to use the pub's app and wait for a table (or get turned away) ma...

More than half of pubs would not reopen and the rest would be at the mercy of the weather under tentative plans to allow beer garden service from April, the industry trade body has said. The British Beer and Pubs Association (BBPA) said 29,000 pubs, about 60%, do not have a big enough garden or out...

• By 7th February, 469,159 2nd doses had also been given,

so not quite 15 million actually vaccinated; and even those 469,159 may not have been within the recommended interval

I really hope this doesn't come back to haunt the UK

Vaccine travel passports FTW

Airshows next?

Vaccine passports. What on earth is the issue? If I want to go to West Africa I have to have a Yellow Fever vaccination certificate. Why is this different? When you get your second jab you should get a certificate, end of. Unless of course the government is looking for a way to monetise the certifi...

more punitive (punitive is all they know no persuasive / reasoning) announcements from the UK Gov't about hotel quarantine. Once again it's up to the individual to book their hotel and go there, no security guards meeting everyone off the plane just the threat of a big fine or prison, They don't hav...

the LGW-LGW easyJet roundabouts are back, saw one today

another one came over out of BHX this morning; heard but couldn't see due to cloud

I was digging around in the loft for some model trains and found this yesterday!

Some interesting analysis on the World at One today about what has led to the current spat with the EU v. The World. EU backed the development of a virus which hasn't worked. I presume you mean a vaccine that hasn't worked :upside_down: if so which one? I think a lot of the thinking behind the dela...

without wishing to fan the Daily Excess flames I do have to ask the obvious question why does a predominantly trading body (the EU) have control over member states' supplies of any vaccine?

There are free range but captive Wallabies just down the road from me at Leonardslee

I wasn't suggesting releasing Iberian Lynx which are as you say completely inappropriate for the UK and are indeed not allowed to be kept in zoos outside of Spain and Portugal which house a few examples (which are not suitable or too old for the breeding programme)

I became captivated by these beautiful creatures having followed the Iberian species which has been brought back from the verge of extinction (thanks to that renowned waster of it's member states' money the EU that's enough politics- Ben Elton ) and been privileged to see 2 examples in Spanish zoos ...

single-covid-vaccine-dose-in-israel-less-effective-than-we-hoped

I agree that saying over 4.25m UK citizens have been vaccinated when only 400,000 have received a 2nd dose might be misleading. But those 3 million are presumably more protected than if they didn't have a first dose? and even if we switched back to giving the 2nd dose asap rather than after 8-12 wee...

But those who supported Vote Leave (which was promoted by most of the current lot in power) have got exactly what they voted for; and the promises in that campaign were upheld through PMTM and PMBJ's efforts to get us out http://www.voteleavetakecontrol.org/why_vote_leave.html no mention in there ab...

I suggest, verreli, you nip off down to a fishing port and repeat this, on a fishing crate. See how you get on! The fishing industry will do just fine. Quotas have increased for UK boats. UK govt have committed to invest. Peoples tastes don't change. Don't believe everything you read/hear in the me...
