Nuclear powered rockets would 'reduce the risk for astronauts' according to NASA. This is in relation to the proposed new rocket propulsion system to get to Mars and beyond. Evidently, it will be ready 'as soon as 2027'. Using the work 'soon' in this sentence seems a bit, well, misleading, surely they could have just said 'ready in 2027', which says the same thing without fooling us into thinking they are acting quickly. I couldn't bebothered to read the whole article, but the statement that current rocket propulsion has been around for about 100 years is a bit off the mark, I thought it wasn't developed until the 40s in the second world war. Still, what's 20 years? The whole piece is littered with unnecessary adjectives so I'll just have to live with it.
Exercise news: Having had a whole week off due to severe man-flu (mild cold) I've been back on it this week with 2 x 5 milers and a 10 mile turbo sesh so far this week. Holiday in the sun next Monday, so I'll get out most days although mileage will be curtailed due to the heat I expect.
