Someone has already been there, and done that. Even planted a flag. A congresswoman told me so.

Well, maybe, as long as the New London city council doesn't have other ideas for the real estate.

Can anyone predict when the first trek up

"doing maths"? Is this an Australian expression or is this an illiterate?

It is English. The astronaut shouldn't be saying the math and science teachers are less qualified these days, they are better than ever, but it is also a fact that the kids are not interested in math and science to the point that physics programs in high schools are closing down.

Thanks. She's American so that 'maths' is likely through the ear of the transcriber. This stuff is important, you know. :-)

Most assuredly...It would be nice to know, however, if our astronaut is a functional illiterate or the reporter is...I'd bet on the reporter, though...

"You can walk on Mars, astronaut tells kids", if we win the war.
Thanks for the ping.
