Some of those are brilliant.

This should be a real one ...

Now they are destroying space heritage in order to make room for car parking.

Out of space, NASA is demolishing Apollo and space shuttle launch platform | collectSPACE

One of the three large steel platforms that supported the launch of NASA's Apollo and space shuttle missions is being demolished — due to a lack of space. Mobile Launch Platform-2 (MLP-2) was front and center for 51 spaceflights from 1968 through 2011.

Oh, the dastardly car industry. Is there no evil deed it will not commit?

Having said that, losing a pair of steel structures within a large site that still offers dozens of other buildings and exhibits of the same or larger historical importance doesn’t seem to me the worst of crimes. Not as bad as, say, destroying and losing forever ancient woodlands and important local habitats to accommodate vanity superfluous high speed rail projects.

I’m surprised to see you caring much about space exploration heritage btw. The fuel consumption and emissions of those rockets are positively dreadful, you know...

See, I reckon that would be a good thing. You can’t lose really, it would either be surprising good food, so a win, or quite mediocre, which would make the whole experience bizarre and a bit of a hoot. Either way would likely bring joy to your day.

[MickiQ]

Having read the article, it's one of the older big crawler things they're breaking up since they are building a new and bigger one to replace it and they don't have space to park four of them. When we visited Cape Kennedy we saw them on the tour. They are absolutely awesome things, if I had Musk or Bezos' money. I'd put in a bid for it since it would make a great conversation piece parked in the garden. Plus Mrs Q's eyes would roll so much they would probably fall out.

 

[teuchter]

Of course they've got space. I've outlined one potential site but there are plenty of others.

You said:

That's not true, is it.

 

[teuchter]

We can see that they have got plenty of car parking space they could use to keep the space heritage, and they have chosen to keep the car parking instead of the space heritage.

That's perfectly good enough for an unashamed propaganda thread. Do you want a peer reviewed paper or something?

More interested in polishing the chrome on their SUVs than looking after important heritage artefacts. Just goes to show what car owners are like.

When the next moon mission doesn’t fail because a key staff member wasn’t driving around looking for a parking spot we’ll know to thank their foresight in removing this unwanted bit of metal.

Well, I don't think anyone can dispute that yesterday's failed landing by the SpaceX Starship vehicle is an indictment of the space industry's obsession with car parking provision.

Not as bad as all the train enthusiasts happy to see ancient woodlands destroyed to build completely unnecesary £100bn high speed tracks with pointy trains, mind...

Whatever.

Petition to ban polluting SUV advertising

We banned tobacco advertising because smoking is bad for our health. So, why do we let advertisers glamourise polluting, gas-guzzling SUVs through adverts in our streets, in our cinemas, in newspapers and on television?

What will be the pollution cutoff point for this ban? I'm guessing it won't ban Audi E-Tron or Jag I-Paces? Or is it the size of them that's the problem?

Rare wild plant flourishes in Suffolk car park 'nature reserve'

Traffic is keeping hungry deer and rabbits away from the rare field wormwood plants, say experts.

www.bbc.co.uk

One of the country's rarest and most threatened wild plants has "astounded" conservationists by thriving on an industrial-estate nature reserve.
The field wormwood plants grow on one of the tiniest reserves in England in Brandon, Suffolk.
Botanists and volunteers of the group Plantlife said the number of flowering plants had rocketed from two in 2019, to 85 at the latest count.
Plantlife said traffic at the site kept hungry deer and rabbits away.
