    Thais in space

    Well one Thai, next year.

    Look at the vacant and unenlightened expression on her face - 'Happee fly-ing', 'Happeee, spaye twawel', I can just imagine her taking selfies on the moon in a space suit adorned with Hello Kitty and Winnie the fucking Pooh stickers.

    Sorry, I've been here too long. Hope she lands safely etc..

    My advice: Just keep movin' straight ahead. Every now and then you find yourself in a different place."

    I had presumed you had disappeared into space Scampy.

    Good to see you are back and hope you are well.

    She looks cute, good luck with that flight.

    Minor mistake in the article. They are not going into orbit. Just up to 100km and back down.



    XCOR's Lynx Rocket Plane Launching Space Tourists in 2013 | Space.com

    Flying next year is optimistic though, they are not that far advanced in their development. A good design though unlike the Virgin Galactic spaceplane with a slightly weird engine. Virgin Galactic are not yet sure which fuel they want to use. It may be rubber or they switch to nylon - no joke, that's serious.

    "Benefit fraud: the public think that £24 of every £100 of benefits is fraudulently claimed. Official estimates are that just 70 pence in every £100 is fraudulent - so the public conception is out by a factor of 34."

    The Governments figures are just an estimate , which means that no one knows for sure the correct figure .
    Yet people are taking an estimated figure and using to rubbish other peoples estimated figures .
