Hurrah! I've got the Daleks arguing amongst themselves.

HOLY DOGtulip! ONLY STEERS AND QUEERS COME FROM SKARO AND YOU DON'T LOOK LIKE ANY KIND OF STEER TO ME SO THAT KIND OF NARROWS IT DOWN, DOESN'T IT?

[Gold Dalek]

No, he means Black Arrow. Blue Streak was the aborted ballistic missile programme. Yet again, this is why I am the Emperor and you are Dalek Gimp. Now haven't you got some robotising to do?

[Gold Dalek]

Surely the congregation is not forgetting the Black Arrow rocket program that successfully launched the UK's one & only satellite (Prospero)?

Driven by steam of course, as any true blue British Rocket should be.

(Kerosene and Hydrogen Peroxide actually, but steam sounds better).

Cancelled by Grocer Heath & co as the vehicle was sat on the launch pad.

You mean Blue Streak

Is that from the latest Home County of Poland or thereabouts?
It's the subtle grammatical errors which give it away you see.

Oh no.......
You figured it out. I should have said:
"GB is letting the Yanks do it for her".

Correct me if I am wrong.

OK OK I am a ****ing idiot. BTW I am from around here but why are you asking?

Now, do you think it is right than America, which has many people living in true poverty, focuses on moon missions instead of helping the plight of it's poor people? Or do you think they should invest the money they have in forward thinking projects like this?

The problem of poverty is not as grave in the US of A. Have you ever been to India? Have you ever seen the poor there?

[Statistician]

Where are you from Statistician? Not terribly bright, are you?

[DimPrawn]

Indeed.

I have no doubt Britain could build a fleet of space shuttles.

1. Gather a load of Indian space experts here on work permits.
2. Outsource the construction back to India.
3. Voila. 100% British space shuttle.

Simple.

As those of us in the know know, the future career opportunities in being a middle-man in "oustsourcing and skills mediation" are immense

Also, don't you think it's sad that Britain is so far behind the rest of the world when it comes to science, innovation, engineering and technology?

As long as the yoof of today want to do Meejah Studies and Sociology rather than Maths and Physics - we're all doomed, innit?

[threaded]

Good question Threaded.

Got an answer?

The Americans and Indians should give the French the money to build them a big rocket.

Money should only be available for:

1:Tax cuts for the rich
2: Anything that helps the Defence industry

anything else is just wasted!
