London Overloaded?
Currently the capital of the United Kingdom is overloaded in relation to pressure on transport needs? Millions is being spent on Cross rail, planned extension's to the Bakerloo Line and the DLR, but this still will not stop the problems of overloading?
Plans are a foot to replace the diesel bus fleet with new Italian Electric buses, some are already in service. But what they lack is capacity and this short term ploy will not really help the situation that worsens daily?
Thames link has purchased a fleet of plug trains that are walk through, and these are much longer than previous stock, thus much work is underway to make station platforms longer!
The opportunity of extending the tram network in London would help, even if it was based on the original layout?
Cost is not a problem for the capital, but lack of vision is and until some really good city Mayor comes to the fore, things will only get slower and tempers frayed??

HMS Queen Elizabeth.
Too much complaining?
The British Royal Navy are not hanging about to get their real estate commissioned and deployed to sea in these worrying times? The U.S. F-35 V/STOL (Vertical and short take-off landing) fighter jets continue to have teething problems, but this is true with all new technology?
It is better to find the problems now and not in the middle of any conflict or war? Perhaps the option of a temporary fix with any left over Harriers might compensate if needed, but it looks like helicopters will be the mainstay for the moment?
This carrier and the largest vessel the British Royal Navy has ever built has more internally than on the outside, splitting the bridges shows that missile command and defence may be with control on one tower, while the other tower will deal with aircraft movements and drone deployment?
Sonar and defence measures one hopes will be improved before she sails and that she will be effective within her up to date support, frigates and submarines? Meanwhile we await the Prince of Wales, her sister ship!

Last days of Cassini!
Space, 'Big Bucks?
It will be the travelling into inner space in the next fifty years that will encourage big bucks and business for Virgin and the many who will follow with their Space planes?
Robotic Space craft Cassini is now ending its life travelling around the gas giant Saturn and its rings for the last fourteen years, before it makes the final death plunge on the 15th of September? It was one of a series of probes which has lead the way to the New Horizons to Pluto and the Kuiper Belt, and Juno has now arrived at Jupiter to make an in depth study of this gas giant the largest planet in our Solar System.
A new rover is planned to visit Venus and another Robotic car for Mars, which will tell us if it is really viable to have a human occupied base there? Humanity is a curios species, we have always like to know what was over the hill and that is how we have spread out across Earth!
Human settlement for the Moon and Mars is the goals for this century, but mining will probably we one of the ultimate goals for our race, as we move more and more into the computer age?
