Lets just hope they don't try building the N1 again ... that one was a fizzer.

Now China have anounced they are intensifying their space program.

India ... even Iran are doing something.

Here in Australia we are just mining ore and growing sheep ... keeping it low key ... basically no change ... though we do have some decent telescopes I guess.

Of how the mighty Eagle has fallen.

Ozstralian space scientists promise, "we will grow asparagus on Mars and measure the temperature of the sun disproving the claim it is so hot on there the trees on the red giant are waiting around for dogs to pee on them."

The Space Shuttle landed for the final time Thursday, prompting congratulations from Obamam. Next is an unmanned journey to Mars. Obamam opted for robots over astronauts because robots don't turn around and endorse Republicans if you slash their budget.

In America, you cut space budget...
In Soviet Russia, space budget cut you.

The Ruskies make a very safe launch vehicle.

No complimentary vodka while the seat belt light is on though ...
