So we may be stuck even with the superluminal hyperdrive capsule. Or this may be sour grapes because I'm an older woman and not invited anyway.susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19492813.post-75938521222451852992010-09-30T22:30:17.537+01:002010-09-30T22:30:17.537+01:00Andrew Brilliant, I'm with you on that one.

It has done over 1 billion light years, the previous owners have not been at all careful, the solar shock absorbers have gone and the quantum clutch is wearing thin, but with luck it could get us there in a few months (but not back). There is room for only ten on board. Who is up for coming along with me for a new start? We need some genetically "proven" old men and some fertile young women. Could be fun (for the old men at least). If there are no other volunteers I'll selflessly do the old man tasks all by myself. I don't think we'll have an internet connection though, so when my own blog stops you'll know where I've gone. I've told my wife and she says "Fine, just leave your wallet and online banking passwords when you go."
