New Zealand Enters Space!

The first material Rocket?

New Zealand's aviation industry, yes they have one?

Has developed what it claims is the first bio rocket that will launch a payload into space and leave no debris! This new rocket is made of nylon materials and is tough enough to do the job of getting their first self launched communications satellite into space!

This will be an encouragement to many small nations that they can have their own and have no need of relying on others for the expensive work! Many nations have already expressed an interest in this system, but one does not know what the actual satellite is made from and what will be its fate on re-entry to our atmosphere?

There are many new concepts and claims being made about inter-Earth travel and that Space tourism may take-off within the next few years? This is because both Russia and China are considering to build a new MIR station, if the U.S abandon the International Space station for committing to a Moon base and expedition to Mars by 2030?

Boris Bus.

London Transport Withdrawals.

The concept of the so called Boris bus/Wrightbus New Route Master (2013) was a good idea at the time, but it was soon found to have two serious flaws? Planned as a reintroduction of the famous RM RML series in modern service it promised London charm and the Mayor of London Boris Johnson believed it would impact on a rise in tourism?

The first flaw was the open deck-stairwell at the rear, allowing Oyster card holders to jump the fares to the rear and upper deck. The second was that the back of the bus upstairs having no rear window made it very dark, the problem was the expense to rectify and thus it was decided that it was cheaper to replace them from this year.

London transport has opted for an Italian Electric bus instead which is more environmentally friendly, after the initial trials of ten this is now to be massed introduced!
