DJR Posted April 21, 2021 Share More history they never taught us: Cracking the sky - The fascinating story by a fascinating South African, Des Prout-Jones (he is still alive and every now and then still launches a rocket for fun and his grand children) who built and shot rockets long ago (late 1940s to 1960s), but was blocked around every corner. Yes, we could have had a space programme long ago if the authorities were not so idiotically myopic. https://www.amazon.com/Cracking-Sky-History-Rocket-Science/dp/1868882039 More detail of the stuff they did http://www.rocketry.org.za/History geomark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RocknRolla Posted April 22, 2021 Share My little one was going on about how cute the little pigs were that he saw at the venue we were at. And I kept on calling them bacon 1 and 2....he is also fully aware. DJR, Red Robin, IMan777 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Wheel Base Posted April 22, 2021 Share IMG_2977.JPG bac84bbb-6400-4f65-a3c0-d1c8d70dab80.jpgDoes that mean the program will now be taken off air?Luckily my boys now ask us to change when peppa pig comes on. Some of their programs I can tolerate but that program is not one of them. Bonus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In our house bacon is known as peppa pig Same here. I was making biltong this weekend and the oldest asks what animal was killed for biltong? I laughed and said killed is such a harsh word. He then asks well how does it die then? After my long pause trying to come up with a answer suitable for a 5y/o he tells me they just shoot them.
