I have an idea for a new thread...

I am not as impressed by the distance through Africa he has covered (1500km) or the time he's been at it (more than 1.5 years) as I am by the choice of cycling shoe... This pappie (Viktor Surin) is now entering the desert region of Western Cape from the relative greenery of the Namib, give him a shout out if you spot him

Can anyone say "rip" and "off" ?

Just make your own. We have one of those large air fryers, the Philips XL I think, and it takes around 35 minutes to roast a whole chicken. 20 minutes, flip, 15 minutes and rest.

 

It comes out perfect: Crispy skin, tender and juicy on the inside, and flavoured exactly the way you like it. Best of all a whole chicken costs around R40/kg at Spar (at the moment it's R32/kg since it's on special). 

 

We now do this twice a week and I don't think I'll ever buy take-away chicken from a Nando's or anywhere else ever again.

Its winter in Europe and I like a chicken on the braai so instead of breaking out the Weber we go to the local Portuguese takeaway for a flame grilled Kip (Dutch for chicken) once a week €12.00, whole fresh Kip directly from the farmer at the weekly village market €6.00

So Nando's are charging us in Euro's (See conversion cost)

ja, but that technological development that would have come from it would have been amazing, IMO.

 

It's not just about the moon and mars. It's all the knock on stuff. But that's a different argument. 

at what cost?

all in 2010 US$

Apollo program was $100bn

What did we get from it?

 

I'm playing massive devil's advocate here, I love this sort of thing, but can totally see why the money men decided enough was enough.

 

EPIC book about this era - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Right_Stuff_(book)

 

EPIC mini series that I digged at the time

The Apollo program was basically at the beginning of NASA, and laid the foundation for all other programs after that. So it's going to be the most expensive. Everything that was learnt, and the technology that was developed during Apollo program would have helped the rest of the programs be comparatively cheaper.
