I really feel for Tim Dodd, a popular space KZfaqr who was selected for the mission. He was gutted when he found out. Imagine thinking for 2 years you’re going to the moon and one day you get a call and it’s “eh, actually never mind”

He must have known in the back of his mind that the possibility of cancellation existed. Especially when Space X fell behind schedule, and the rich Japanese took a ride to the space station with a Russian rocket.

Can confirm we did have Tower Records in the UK, it seems to have existed from the mid 80s until the early 2000s, when it got sold to Virgin. Apparently it's come back last year, but think there might only be one in London. I visited the one in Dublin last year.

Many decades ago, a relative bought a Breitling watch, which came with the promise of a box of Christmas/Holiday Season chocolate every year. When he observed to the place it bought it, and took it in for service every year, that his wife had not received her chocolates for a couple years, the salesman he worked with just deflated like a crashed hot air balloon and went through the whole sad tale of all the grief he and others were continually taking because the company just unilaterally decided that was a bridge too far for them, anymore. I think he was buried with the watch, in the end.

Yes we absolutely had Tower Records in the UK. I don't know what time they appeared as I don't recall ever seeing one in the 1980s (I used to shop in Peterborough and London predominantly). But when I later DJed by about the early 1990s, there was a massive one in Oxford Street that I used to visit. It was still there in 1995 when I saw Oasis at Earl's Court. Although Tower Records in Tokyo is bloody awesome. I spent hours in there the first time I visited.

SpaceX rockets are way more reliable than you guys make it seem like. If you actually follow the launches, SpaceX is extremely successful and consistent. They do launches for starlink pretty much every single week. Starship blowing up is expected for the first early test flights. They literally just had the fourth starship test flight last week and had was able to re-enter the atmosphere and do a soft landing in the ocean. Compared to any of the other private space programs, none of them are as developed as SpaceX.

They DO seem to be slightly behind schedule though. As do some other of the ‘Elon Musk’ ventures. That roadster should have been out a while back, the roof tiles don’t seem to be in production and the hyperloop is… ? Still, I’m sure we’ll have regular electric loop journeys and cheap solar powered space travel by 20XX.
@StreakyBaconMan13 күн бұрын
The problem is Elon Musk lies more than anything - he promises impossible deadlines for his projects and then fails to deliver on time, and wonders why people get upset and want to back out when he's multiple years behind the deadline he promised. I've literally lost count of the amount of deadlines he's failed to deliver on. One that always sticks out in memory is him promising that starship would be taking people to Mars by 2025 - and now he's saying 2029, meaning it'll probably be 2040 or more likely not at all.

Said, most likely you’ll have to cook your own to save on food, otherwise you’ll be eating kebabs for the most part if you’re scrimping for food, or some of the onigiris or shioyaki fish in the konbinis. Check the ingredients though, some onigiri would have gelatin (Lawson’s tuna mayo) or wine spirits (Newdays). I assume you’re having a halal-restricted diet, so hope that helps.
