No idea why people think North are easybeats. Apart from Xerri and arguably Logue, they are basically full strength. 4 time premiership coach, excellent young talent, very good experienced recruits and currently sit 3-1.
they were terrible Paul.  We made them look good in the last.  We had many moments we didnt manage well, but the umps gave them an armchair ride and we still should have done more to win that game if not for obtaining the fumbles and making poor decisions.

We actually beat ourselves today.  Melbourne last week beat us, today we beat ourselves.

Essendon will be good as well when they beat us.

The excuses we make is cringeworthy. We are offically a laughing stock

Are you worried about the amount of 91 ron required to achieve the mission ?
The boosters are solid rocket motors, the main vehicles is fueled by hydrogen and liquid oxygen with water vapour as the exhaust gas.

Hydrogen is the same technology we should really be using for transport, fast to refill, long range, conventional delivery, water vapour is the exhaust.

I'm not sure what the project was greenlit off the back of, but the amount of things we've learned in the past are still finding new ways of benefitting us today.

Science will find 100's if not 1000's of benefits that will help in unimaginable ways.

Most of the time things like this happen it is to confirm previous suspicions or to help understand specific circumstances.

Whether or not is indulgent probably depends on your relationship to science.
Conversely, your relationship to the army and war (or lack of) may lead you to the conclusion that a nations defence is indulgent.

My relationship with science is pretty healthy.  My question is twofold.

1.  What are its goals?

The progression of science i can see space x doing regarding a take of and landing.   Artemis 2 is going up, orbiting the moon and coming back.  We've done that before, sure they might be testing something.  Not sure, I genuinely dont know the goals.

2.  Is it indulgent?  In the current climate maybe.  The fuel to get it up there when the world is staring at shortages.  

Ive had a couple of responses indicating that im not alone in my thought process, and ive not seen a ringing endorsement for it aside from furthering science.  Thats good enough for me to have warranted asking the question.

Lets resign Voss now.

All jokes aside our lack of structures and systems are there for all to see. 

the list is in all sorts of trouble. holes everywhere snail pace mid field no key forwards that have any presence and mentally fold like a pack of cards.

One positive is we wont need to worry about changes to father son.
All Voss’s fault too… 🙄
