been a while

So it has been a while sinse adding a new post, however, I was browsing the internet today, searching for speculative timelines of space, technology and happenings, and discovered this future timeline of events

I really loved this story when I read it.

I hope more children are encouraged to become more engaged in space and the possibilities it can produce.

Space has become a lot closer - the possibilities are becoming greater

Was trailing through BBC news reals and found this, Dr. Hoffman attended and presented at the SHIFTboston competition two weeks ago.

UKSA... the continuation

Recently I have had a lot of questions regarding the actual benifit of 'space' ... Whether it is benifical to invest money, time and effort on a challenge that very few people engage in.

Well, I read this today [click here], and felt that it offered quite a lot of reassurance (myself included) that in fact, the UK does benifit on the space programme... If our country benifits from such a small agency, as it grows, I am sure the benifit will expand also.

It isn't just about benifit, however! We can learn a lot from exploration, just as we grow in understanding when delving deep into the sea, we expand our knowledge (sometimes unexpedtedly) when we blast off, or gaze off into the realms of the universe. And what better way to explore, than to voyage into a place where boundaries are non-existant ;)

I really was completely blind to the fact that there ever was such a thing as the UKSA, the population of the UK should be more proud of the space initiatives taking place.
