US astronaut John Young dies aged 87

We are rapidly moving away from the period where there are those alive that have been as far away from earth as the moon. Wonder how long until we go back. There must be minerals there at least.

Oh I don't know, life's a bag of fucking shit and it's only going to get worse with population problems and global automation. I give humans 100-200 years max.

 

[Job]

I think if they introduce universal income and everyone has far more time, every freakin place of interest is just going to be swamped with visitors.
I had a taste if it in Austria with huge queues of Indians and Chinese for the lifts...wtf are we going to do as more and more of them get holiday money.
To put it politely they have a rather different idea of personal space.

My workmates wife, who also worked in the same building, was her double, in looks and size, of course we started calling her Blunderwoman, he got on to it, so we renamed her potato girl.
