Well, it seems they went up...

Well, they're not 'crew' or 'pax' anymore. They're 'astronauts'

Changed her opinions from 9 years ago?

In an exclusive recording launched as world leaders gather today in Paris, France, for the high-level segment of the United Nations climate change conference (COP21), UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) Goodwill Ambassador and global pop star Katy Perry read a unique weather report to draw attention to the devastating effects of the phenomenon on the world’s children.

I know nothing about her; what does she do for a living?

I think you, and I, are really missing the point!

This is a truly inspirational, ground breaking, earth shattering, multi emotional, soul revealing, character moulding, life changing, profound and cathartic event.

I bet it was for them! Not sure you would get me up in one of Mr Bezos' phalli, I prefer my aerial craft to have proper wings and be guided by the art of aviation rather than the science of ballistics. Mind you. I did have a ride in a balloon once and that is also deficient in the wings department - Archimedes came up trumps that day.

Has nobody told them what that looks like. Or is it deliberate ?

Either way, it is just awful. Strewth.

It’s a hen party to celebrate her upcoming wedding to Bezos. Who would want anything less when you’re about to impress everyone by marrying one of the richest men in the world?

Next stop, Venice for the wedding.

No union and forget staff toilet breaks, but hey, at least Bezos can buy Venice for his wedding

I went there once this time of year. It starts to get smelly about now.

I watched it and found it inspiring, whatever the motives.

Booked my wife on the first launch to Mars. I can only afford a one way ticket.

Was it my imagination or was that capsule door opened from the inside (and then shut again very quickly) about five minutes before Bezoz 'opened' it with that special tool? In fact, even that looked to be false as when he leant on it, the door opened immediately without him turning the tool. Special effects for the media?

It’s the 100th anniversary of the publication of, “The Great Gatsby.”

You know what they say, “If you got it, flaunt it.”
