No, Withnail, not a kilo of Moroccan Black, but some Cambridge University students who have managed to get a device 32 miles up and think it's possible to reach yer actual space for about £1000!

In the piece, there's a link to some very impressive pictures indeed. At the apex of the flight, you can clearly see the blue of the atmosphere and thecurvature of the Earth.

Maybe they should invent a levitation

Ha ha! They should indeed!

Hair are your aerials. They pick up signals from the cosmos and transmit them directly into the brain. This is the reason bald-headed men are uptight.

Oh crikey! Quick, Tomo, think!

Erm, except the sainted Mandrake, that is. May the elephant of delight carry his heaviest load.

And may the Green lime of plenty fill your chop cup

Yeah, a grand to get into space! No problem! The scam comes if you ever want to come back to earth again! Thats where they get ya!

Right on brother! It's cruelty to robots! Equal rights for AI!

No one's thought about those poor Mars Rovers, you know. Poor little Spirit and Opportunity, doing their very best, a best that's far in excess of physical limitations by the way, trundling about in a lonely place for all they're worth. And no one ever thought to bring them home. They're on the opposite sides of the planet, you know, without their own kind. Poor Spirit has a squeeky wheel. Opportunity has a bit of RAM that keeps missing.

Let's get a petition going. Lets picket NASA.

BRING BACK THE MARS TWO!

It's like a love story!

Perhaps it could be a movie! Ok, I admit it, I just wanted to write small text.

Completely off topic, but with all the Withnail/marwood mentionings and a Danny quote - i have a question...

Do you reckon you could get a fez as a chop cup? that would be lovely...I'm rather taken by chop cups again...

"Your the one whose wearing the wig and the dress yer honour..."

I'm sure there was an old thread on this somewhere (can't find it anywhere so probably deleted by now) and part of it referred to using low cost plastic cups from the cheapo magic ranges, giving then a red felt covering (or just a matte paint job) and a small tassel to make them each look like a fez for use in cups and balls. Being a miniature item would add appeal and get away from the slight possibility that a full size one might be gaffed. No reason why the same couldn’t be done for a chop cup. The small cardboard cups from water dispensers could be converted along the same lines and wouldn't cost a lot.

ooooooohh...just like that...
