UK tests Moon lander technology


According to the bbc, that is, see here .
I was slightly disappointed to see that its all in the passe "nasa" style of 1980's white and bare metal. I'd kind of hoped for a more victorian retro mahogany and brass effect. But that's probably because I just finished reading "The Witches of Chiswick" this morning, which has a similar theme to "The difference engine" but way more British and a quite a bit sillier, though none the less clever for that, and much more unputdownable (if there is such a word ;-).

I know nothing, I'm not a fortune teller, and you'd be insane to think that I am. This disclaimer was cribbed from an email footer I once received. It is so ridiculous I had to have it for myself.
