FFS, ever decreasing circles. Once there's open and widely available space travel, we'll have a revolution. Until then, let's admire the progress.

I bet to differ...but feel free to begin a science/engineering/tech thread if a debate about it excites you.

Sigh. You're hard of reading I have acknowledged the tech advances. What I have disputed is the suggestion that they've revolutionised space travel, and that's because they haven't. Yet.

Back to earth... borrowing up a fifth year on year. Coupled with higher borrowing costs, it's not ideal. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c68049m18435o

We'll agree to differ...your question confirms that you're focusing on the tech developments (which I've acknowledged) not the "revolutionised space travel" point. When space travel becomes widely available, it's been revolutionised. Until then, tech is progressing, and a future revolution becomes a possibility. Concorde revolutionised transatlantic travel, and transported thousands of punters. Taking a select few into low orbit space, is a million miles from a revolution. I'll leave it here as this nothing to do with the thread, ie this country.

I think it's more that the purpose of the cheating was to help us get to the PL, not that promotion to the PL is the prize from this league.

Pretty much my take on it. I've said 8-12 games, but arrived at differently. I think we could just about live with 8 and install a caretaker, but 12 is more testing. I agree re the whining which, for me, devalues the remorse.

Turning the radio on and being greeted by a favourite tune.

All very lovely, but show me where space travel, as an industry, has been "revolutionised". I've been clear that technical advances are a different thing, and sure there's been achievements in that respect, but space travel has not been opened up, let alone "revolutionised", to suggest it has been is hyperbole.

If (inevitably) Tonda is likely to be banned for any amount of time, sounding out a new manager is the right thing to do.

If you're talking revolutionary tech, that's different to revolutionising space for travel, which they haven't revolutionised.

He said they had "revolutionised space travel". They've done no such thing. When spave travel becomes safe and a regular thing beyond a select few, I'd agree it's been revolutionised, but until then, let's keep some perspective.

I'm not sure which way you mean that...if you think it's revolutionised space travel, I'd like to know where I can sign up for my trip to the international space station. I'm free on Thursday.

Yep. Space X isn't a great example of a success story, yet. In time I think it'll be worth a fortune, but it's not done anything to date to warrant praise, and the suggestion that it's revolutionised space travel is nonsense. NASA on the other hand, has actually had successes.

Capatilsm is a tool for organising markets, not how to organise a society. Governments deal with the latter.
