They're to stop China/Russia/India etc from claiming the Moon, Mars, Asteroid belt etc and taking the resources or from impacting satellites etc. Their mission statement literally says they're to protect the interests of the USA and to ensure the countries freedom of operations.

Ah, fair enough. I didn’t read into it and just imagined a team of people dressed like the Jetsons orbiting the Earth ready to fight aliens I’m only surprised they didn’t call themselves the World Space Force, focused only on the USA.

So America has freedom of operations where ever they want whilst they stop other countries from claiming things? So their space policy is the same as their earth policy...

Asian grocer places deffo the go to place for authentic spices and all. Might pop down near villa when the time comes to replenish my stocks. Am sure there will be a few such shops. The naan/chappatis....are they any better than the sharwoods you get in mainstream stores as they always taste a bit "longlife"....a bit stale if you get my meaning ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asian shop naan bread is always better than Sharwoods and own-brands. Those in the photo are huge bastards, and you get three for £1.49. I got four packs to put in the freezer (although having one for me tea tonight). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used a round stonebaked boule when I cooked the recipe in Nisha Katonas cookbook. Mainly because thats sort of how it came when I ate it in her restaurant Mowgli 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
