Not really. The pharmaceutical company is jacking up the prices because trump is insisting it, don't know why they don't tell him to do one really. It's got nothing to do with the UK government. For once something stupid is happening and it isn't the government's fault.

NHS have their own agreement with the company they don't buy retail so it doesn't really matter what trump thinks. They have a contract in place and the pharmaceutical company can't change the contract halfway through. I don't know how long the contracts for though.

I definitely wanted larger ships that would take several weeks to break down.

So they're shutting down Windows 10 after telling everyone Windows 10 would be the last windows operating system, and at the same time as them doing that they're telling everybody that Windows 11 won't last very long either, and they're going to replace it with an AI nightmare.

Great marketing strategy.

Well there is the Artemis program although it seems massively overly complicated.

SLS is basically just the Apollo rocket again, except without a lander. Then they're going to dock with a space station that they haven't built, and transfer via the space station onto a lander produce by SpaceX (although possibly there will be others), then land on the moon in the lander;and construct a permanent habitat on the moon. Presumably the space station will do something other than serve as a transfer system but I don't really know what.

With the trump administration though it's anyone's guess what happens I'm assuming that they'll probably cut funding so it won't happen anyway.

No we house people on the moon. If there was an actual colony on the moon I would 100% go there. Earth sucks, it's got all this pointless outside that I never use.

Pretty sure that was a joke. I've never heard of anyone claim that aircraft don't exist

Oh yeah, they used CGI to make it look like the plane was flying.

A decade is 10 years, he only really arrived on the scene 5 years ago, where's the other 15 years coming from?

I've heard the same said about John Malkovich, even though he's hardly in anything really. But when he is in a movie it's always good.

They didn't do anything. Those two ousted themselves.

He's a pretty famous actor. With two popular shows running simultaneously (sort of) that contain him.
