So you've been to Stockport.

[โ€“] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I actually take the M62 through Stockport to work from Manchester.

It do be like that.

The A6 corridor is mentioned in the Domesday book as particularly being a wasteland.

Theyโ€™d go if there was a crappy resort town with English speaking bartenders and a branch of Greggs.

How dare you! You're right, but how dare you.

I mean... ๐Ÿค”

Well personally I donโ€™t care that much. Going there is probably also a lot of faff. If it took 5h to get there โ€œdoor to doorโ€ maybe. I understand the people who would like to go there, though, I completely get it.

To be given the chance to visit a safe friendly alien planet inhabited by intelligent species, now thatโ€™s something Iโ€™d like to do. Probably more for the cultural experience.

Wallace and Gromit went to the Moon. I think they decided it was made of Wensleydale.

[โ€“] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The moon is made of a British town?

[โ€“] NutWrench@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

The cheese. ;)

I would though, it would be an incredible view. But only in at least as much safety as in a car.

[โ€“] MossyFeathers@pawb.social 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The monkey's paw curls. You find yourself in the passenger seat of a luxurious, self-driving car, driving up into the sky with the moon directly in front of you. A speed limit sign flies past; "55 mph"

That's a year's round trip :D

Pretty much everyone who has been to space claims its one of the most transformative perspective changing things they have done.

Just wait until it gets filled with tourists.

Nothing quite spoils even the most awe-inpiring experience than being surrounded by people who "just have to" vocalize (worse, as some kind of performance for those around them) how much awe inspiring the whole thing is.

Mind you, I'm an introvert, so maybe it's just me having trouble appreciating socially performative "awe".

We should launch more people into space.

Mushrooms and LSD is cheaper.

Damn, I'd go there even now, no need to guarantee security. Put my ass in a box to Jupiter with guaranteed no way back, I'll go.

[โ€“] Hugh_Jeggs@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Guaranteed if there were home made sausage rolls on the moon it'd be colonised within days

[โ€“] Emperor@feddit.uk 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Home made? Just open a Greggs.

There's no one there... It's the perfect place!

[โ€“] flamingos@feddit.uk 4 points 1 year ago

Just go to your local high street.

[โ€“] GeneralInterest@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (4 children)

The thing is that you can't guarantee safety. Things can always go wrong. Perhaps that's why people are cautious about it.
