It's almost like it's a practical joke, second hand spacecraft?

Don't they realise how dangerous space is  :scratch-head:

Well, best of luck  :thumbsup:

And yet we go on holiday in aircraft that can more than 30 years old with many thousands of flight hours in them, airlines sell their aircraft to other airlines when they buy new ones.

When you think along those lines it doeasn't sound quite so daft  :scratch-head:

I'll have to defer to a few others, as well, but only because of financial concerns. Kind of hard to come up with a hundred quid these days, let alone a hundred million! :o
