Living like NASA



To some the comparison might seem a little far fetched, arrogance perhaps. But if you look a little closer, a little harder at the potential comparison between ourselves and the world's one time largest space agency you'll indeed see that we're near enough exactly the same.

Like Nasa, our team has assembled the brightest minds across the Atlantic to take on this challenge 
We, like astronauts, live in cramped conditions, strapped in, unable to move without hitting something
We, like Nasa, are going where only few have been before, on a journey of discovery and exploration
We like Nasa, are totally underfunded and under prepared for what they do every day
And we, like Nasa, are travelling in a vehicle that might explode at any time, at any place (too soon...?)

So when you next see a Ford Ka zoom past you at the speed of a lawnmower, look up into the sky and think of your friend's Atlantis space shuttle currently flying somewhere over the Ukraine.
