I wasn't born either!

Sorry- enjoying the rare opportunity of being a youngster.

We were youngsters when we viewed the first one and felt like that watching yesterday's launch.

I visited mission control in 1990. Was incredibly lucky it was open.

Also saw the rocket engine test facility in Mississippi. In December (1990). The only visitors they had that week. Again very lucky. They'd just spend weeks testing the new shuttle engines.

I’m very jealous @SerendipityJane. We didn’t get to see a shuttle at Kennedy as it was being moved that week. We visited the Intrepid in New York the week after and they had a Shuttle there but it was under a giant tarpaulin!

Edit to add that I did go on the Space shuttle simulator ride. The nearest I got.

We saw a space shuttle when we visited Kennedy Space Centre it was amazing to actually see it in real life

Latest poll has Labour down to just EIGHT members of parliament

Anyone feel we're being pebbled?

Polls for hire. Don't worry - we'll never reveal our methodology.

.

What did they do to get that result? Go to a reform convention and ask the speakers!

They really are desperate.

What did they do to get that result?

Polls for hire. Don't worry - we'll never reveal our methodology. 😎

Just watching the news and it brought back memories of us taking the dc to Goonhilly space observatory and the kids talking to kids visiting Nasa.

A bit random there, but rocket related.

Do you have a link for the seat projection please? I can find the poll but not the seat projection.

Maybe use 'what three words'?

It was the delivery that felt flat. The very sober tone was correct, but from about the words “So - on our economy, on our energy and on our defence - this time will be different.
We will make Britain a fairer and more secure country because that hope is what is needed as the country comes together and because how we emerge from this crisis will define us for a generation.”

I felt it didn’t change tone in the way he spoke.
I believe fully Labour is doing the best it can after the mess it was left and is happening now.

No we shouldn’t need a leader with more charisma - times this serious should be enough but polls show otherwise

I was well after the moon landings. Been watching and it is exciting.

Visitors are like buses on this thread ☺️

Just like polls. Why on earth are people so obsessed with polls when there’s another three years before the next general election?

Remember we weren't allowed to mention polls just before and during the GE?

Really, that's a projection for 2029?

😂😂😂😂

If it is, I want Saturday's Lottery numbers.

I was thinking more polls for May

Things must be going bad for the far right at the moment and ejector seats in operation for the leader.

Ah. I have managed to find out the source of the seat projection @ProudAmberTurtle posted. Forgive me if I take it with a massive pinch of salt. For starters, no explanation of the methodology. And then there's the pinned tweet...which suggests there could be a lack of impartiality. I don't think that account is a fan of Labour.

We’re not voting for parliamentary seats in May.
