Space diving is the next big step beyond sky diving, and it is envisioned as a concept that would allow spaceflight participants a means of escape from a possibly disastrous on-orbit emergency, or perhaps just a new recreational activity for those no longer satisfied with merely jumping out of aircraft. The RL MARK VI would allow high-altitude jumps from near-space, suborbital space, and eventually low Earth orbit itself.

Tennant was one of the best Doctors. He is second only to Tom Baker in my pantheon. I was watching Who when Pertwee was The Doctor. The guy who followed Tennant was very good, but his successor is a lousy Who and will likely end the long running series due to lack of followers to his lousy acting. The writing is suffering, also.
Ronald Reagan, who understood theatrics, would never have let himself be photographed that way.
