Another would be the creation of a system of space planes and orbital skyhooks (not space elevators).

Skylon could be the answer.

It's British .

Yes!

Combine with Skyhook for all the easier space travel.

Keep your eyes towards the sky - you might just see a Chinese rocket falling out of the sky. If you're especially lucky, it might bump you on the head!

In return, we get guys with power armour and super gravely voices who get forced to star in some terrible video games.

I know very little about the 40k universe but it can't be all that bad.

you're mostly right, but I'll correct you by saying some of the video games are good

either way I'll take it over late capitalism

I take it all back, humanity shouldn't be allowed into space. :lol:

Hubble will always be awesome. However, this video has a few revelations (well, they were revelations to me, at least) about its limits which I was unaware of / didn't really take into consideration.

I’ve been thinking how it would be kind of perfect if Bezos’s cock rocket blew up with him on board, but this has changed my mind.

An 82-year-old woman who has spent six decades trying to reach space will join Jeff Bezos on the first human flight by his space company later this month.
Wally Funk, who underwent training in the 1960s, will become the oldest person to ever fly to space.
Mr Bezos has invited Ms Funk as an "honoured guest" and shared video on Instagram of him telling her the news.

Honored guest? PR hostage, more like.

She has had 82 years of life, I would take the shot for the good of Liz...Mankind.

Branson is going to space today in a desperate bid to beat Bezos.

I love the fact there are so many people bickering over what constitutes the edge of Space, trying to say Mr Pickle isn't going high enough to be in Space.

It's gotten so petty that they have to specify they have bigger windows. :lol:

The best bit for me is there is no agreed limit where the boundary starts, and the USA gave astronaut wings to X-15 pilots who flew at 80km. I wonder what the next arbitrary dick wave will be? Bezos has a head perfect shaped head for re-entry.

"Largest windows in space" :fp:

It's as bad as the football! It doesn't count because we've decided the rules are different!

Insufferable dick waving from the billionaires. Eject them all into space, we don't need them.
