The European Space Truck made its second test docking today. I'm very much a futurist and feel that this is really important for mankind; especially since reading some really good science fiction recently. I like to think that someday we really will travel to the stars, or at least have the option.
And because I'm also a humanist, I was pleased to get a mail from Christian Aid, following up on a campaign they've been running to ensure that companies report all their carbon emissions. Fairness and transparency ought to be the hallmarks of a decent and civilised society, and this is one small step along the way.
