UK Space Agency = USA?!?!
on: March 23, 2010, 07:24:19 pm
I know you should never make an Acronym of an Acronym (And maybe THIS is why?),  the new Uk Space Agency, the acronym for it would be USA. Which is just terrible :P. Admittedly, if we use grammer properly, it is UKSA. On a side note, the U(K)SA goes into operation on April 1st, isn't that the WORST date for somthing? :P

What's up with that?  I mean the Brits used to slap "His/Her Majesty's" on everything.  What happened to their traditional monarchial pride?

[21:51] <@Droid803> as this rich psychic girl will now be tsundere for a loli.
[21:51] <@Droid803> OH WELLL.

See what you're missing in #WoD and #Fsquest?

[07:57:32] <Caiaphas> inspired by HerraTohtori i built a supermaneuverable plane in ksp
[07:57:43] <Caiaphas> i just killed my pilots with a high-g maneuver
[07:58:19] <Caiaphas> apparently people can't take 20 gees for 5 continuous seconds
[08:00:11] <Caiaphas> the plane however performed admirably, and only crashed because it no longer had any guidance systems

ah, HMS Rocket-1?

hm, Labour, sending our trops everywhere with the worst equipment available. Not sure i'd trust any other party not to do that either, it's in out nature to try and do things cheaply. For example: I acturally prefer the really cheap Sainsburrys Orange Juice over more expensive orange juice.

I hope the UKSA doesn't acturally start trying to do manned missions on its own without the ESA, I can't even begin to imagine the cost cutting measures it would take...

The UK having a real space agency? Nah, you guys dont have any captured nazi scientists or crashed alien spaceships to play with to make it happen. :P  :D
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside
