Just a space tour or would you like to land somewhere, Mikey?
Just going out to ride round would get a bit tedious after a bit, I think you'd need a destination
As a kid I wanted to be an astronaut. In real life I've only been abroad three times and two of those were day trips so it's safe to say I wouldn't.
Yesterday while we were discussing adverts my colleagues all said that they wouldn't want to go to the moon. I would love to go. Years ago my friend and I planned holidays to celebrate milestone birthdays - 40, 50 60 and 70. 70 was the Moon.
Not getting me up in one of those things. 'Tain't natural.
Isn't it strange how the rocket looks eerily similar to those SF artists of the 50's used to dream up?...and how little exhaust flame there was in the video compared to the NASA rockets. Has this thing really flown?
Anyway, count me in. Mars, preferably, when they get it down to a 7-day trip.

There is another entirely natural way to get to the heavens, but no one's ever returned from that journey, so not sure if it's really all that safe.
Stairway to Heaven?

dont forget to send me a postcard when you arrive.
Who wants to faff about in near earth orbit when you curl up in a chair by the fire and travel to Tau Ceti,live like a Martian, or venture even further into Space. After all Tsarina has been encouraging tourism for a year or two now

Yes, Jim. You should if you want a great big bruise.

It's a lovely shade of green, I bet.

Unless of course I had written Brer Rabbit
in which case I'd doubtless be in for a kicking
Actually they're not good for kicking with. The problem is that the toe caps aren't as firm as in boots and the welly is pretty flexible, and if you're not careful you can catch your toes on the top edge of the toe cap.Bet you never knew that ;-)
So what you're suggesting is that it's best to use a hammer?
Just use your teacher glare, Patti!

Even Patti's high octane one? With added blowtorch?
Patti isn't old enough to have the real glare, she doesn't even have the moustache!

My furry toes are scarier than my moustache.
