My latest response is below, and previous posts are here, here and here.

Following the first parts of our debate here and here, I asked Mark to elaborate on the type of science that could be done on the space station.

He’s a good guy, even though he’s off in his own little universe sometimes. This time, Chris was in a chatty mood about the International Space Station, and about whether or not the UK would contribute modules to it. I had to agree with him, it sounded a lot like wishful thinking, and then he was on his way. Of course, these days just getting to orbit seems to be harder than it used to be. Pick the wrong technology, and you could wind up in the Selenian Boondocks. [...] […] Turning out onto the street, I stumbled across my old buddy Chris.
