Re: Greta Thunberg?

There's a few diesel vans in my town with the extinction rebellion posters in their windows. I feel like spraying 'hypocrite' on the side. If the government got really serious about air quality they would be off the road.

Re: Emergency landing for astronauts as rocket fails

So, this causes a problem, does it not?

I believe the soyuz thats up there (the one with the hole) is due to come back as they can only spend a finite time in orbit. Is there a separate escape pod that can get all the 'nauts down or will they have to be short staffed for who knows how long?

Re: F-35A Mishap

The F22 had a prototype's computer throw a wobbly which lead to a interesting landing.
