I am probably a glass half full person, but all I think about after reading this is Challenger and Apollo 13 with untrained people. Musk keeps saying it is dangerous.

If you're old and rich, dying on a flight around the moon is a great way to die.

By the way, for anyone who doesn't know it, Musk is crazy as a bedbug. That doesn't mean he's wrong, just crazy.

Never gonna happen. First off, Musk is a fraud, a cliché straight out of a third-rate science fiction story. Even if half of his plans get realized, it won't be without a massive injection of tax payer money and I don't see that happen anytime soon.

The last moon landing was in 1972 and the people who've been there so far were perfectly healthy fighter pilots with degrees in engineering and years of rigorous training. I can't see the Moon as a tourist destination yet. Not without a permanently operated base there. Something like that may become reality in 30-40 years.

One shouldn't ignore that Elon Musk is a seriously talented and innovative businessman and designer. What the recent events around the Thai cave rescue have shown is that he has a deeply flawed character and abundant emotional immaturity. He reminds me of Mr Trump in his penchant for aiming repeated malicious and spiteful lies at people who he thinks he can victimise safely and without suffering effective return fire. He seems to be finding that his selected victim has teeth and can bite most unpleasantly. If he has any common sense at all he will keep quiet, wait for tempers to cool off, and settle out of court quietly - this stuff blows over quite quickly if no one keeps fanning the flames.

One should never make the error of taking anything Vince Cable says seriously.

This week, while walking around a local 'bric a brac' type shop, I saw a large collection of metal oblongs with old 'adverts' on them.

One was a picture of Hitler (looking 'suitably heroic') with words at the bottom to the effect that 'Hitler is Germany' etc.

Another one was a 'Golliwog' doll sitting next to a little white dog in a Golden Shred advert.

What I noticed was the fact that I didn't know which one would be the most 'Un-PC' to have on my wall!

You'd think so, but with today's 'PC Brigade' it's less certain.

Get them both and put them near each other.

Should have grabbed both. One day soon there will be special police tasked to go around to all merchant establishments and confiscate all such goods. Which means such things will be worth a bundle on the black market.

Best of luck to British schoolgirl Courtney Hadwin in America's got talent tonight .

Here's hoping also that my CD of nails being ran down a blackboard arrives soon .

And that the council install a foghorn 10 yards from my house .

Or in other words she is bloody awful .
Why is she on America's got talent anyway when she's British ?

Calling it the "black" market has been deemed racist. Please report to your nearest re-education facility.
