Certainly doing the Buggie Bogey would have been cheaper if done in the Nevada Desert.

60 years ago, Yuri Gagarin became the first person in space. Of course, not long after that the Americans were doing donuts on the moon in buggys and telecasting it live to the whole world 🙄 But probably more kids who had sat at their radios hearing beeps cried when the first dog in space died than cheered when the buggies were rolling. My memory is letting me down, which year was this me.? I would have been distraught at some poor dog dying in space but I seem to have missed the opportunity.

You have a deep ingrained bias against native English speakers. Except fenians.

Look north of the border, Herr Sturgeon wasting millions trying to reintroduce a dead language no one speaks, maybe she should cater to the fenians and have the money spent on reintroducing the language of the elites, latin. Road signs in dual languages, english and gaelic that no one can read,speak or understand, god knows what the continetal and american visitors make of it all.

I am unsure of this rejection of the English language, and will probably have to take it under advisement. As regards the foreigner, well we can expect no better. Now had you asked about the spaced program I could have imagined you were considering joining up to grow weed(s). The astronauts in the space station get big bags of free weed anyway, I don't think they grow it up there as it would get a bit too leggy due to the lack of gravity. Being Dutch I'm sure you already know about that though.

Being Dutch I'm sure you already know about that though. This may surprise you, but not all Dutch know about wiet, weed or weeds. Mind you, there may be big money in exploring 'weed in space' "Growing Marijuana in Space: Microgravity's Effect on Plants ... Kimel said that the company is focused in particular on how microgravity may affect the growth of hemp-derived CBD, a market expected to be worth $1.8 billion by 2022. For the time being, the experiments are being conducted on hemp (made legal in the U.S. by the 2018 Farm Bill), but as more legal markets open up via legislation or voter initiatives, applying the lessons learned from growing in microgravity could be applied to expanding legal marijuana markets as well. ..." potguide.com/blog/article/growing-marijuana-in-space/BTW did you already follow this course for home grown stuff?
