   Very disappointing to find that there's no place for our deceased stalwarts of screens big and small..

   How true Jeni, well spotted

   "This would enable the craft to determine its position to an accuracy of just five kilometres anywhere in the galaxy."

   I don't know about you, but I'd have to say if my flight next month misses the Florence runway by 5 kilometres, I'm likely to be a tad miffed. And dead.

   See that's the thing dvo, if I were travelling throught the galaxy, I'd be hoping for something slightly more accurate than 5km.
   Those service stations are few and far between...

   I think Max Clifford uses this technique. He heads towards dying stars. ( sorry, bad taste, but couldn't resist)

   Jeni: Bad enough when you miss Watford Gap Services on the M1 .. err, hold on ... there might be a better example I could use.

   Perks: Like Jade Goody you mean?

   I've been to the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics in Garching (Near Munich).

   That's it.
