It sounds like we won't know the true impact for some time yet - and at least they are actively looking at changing materials to reduce reflections.

 

Bit like fossil fuels, CFC's plastics, and now we are told "bad"

On the plus side, the project could be pretty amazing. Worldwide high speed internet access will literally change to way the planet develops.

Heard today talk of people having a new disease, video game playing.

It will literally change  the way the planet develops? Zombie Apocalypse!!!!

I'm not a million  miles from you billy and we come across these small wasp nest quite often in our trees and bushes, we have a old one in the combe above our front door it was there when we moved in thirty years ago and I've never seen a wasp go near it but it is big, like the mother ship of all wasp nests.

Don't do what my old boss did  though to the one in his attic, sprayed it wilth paraffin and set light to it, the wasps left and the plasterer  moved in to replace the ceiling .

As a youngster I served my first apprenticeship as a butcher and was intrigued by the way wasps cut pieces of beef out of a hind quarter of beef  hanging in the shop, small neat cubes, the lucky ones got away with it  but most were squigged by a big handed flat knife blade.

Live and let live was my motto and I joined the army!!!
