    During Spandau's reign in the '80s, the band notched up 20 hit singles, 9 of which were in the Top 10 and they spent a staggering combined total of 415 weeks in the charts - that is one week short of eight years (256 weeks in the album chart and 159 in the single chart).

    They also just released a new album on Virgin. But that has absolutely nothing to do with it.

    This is the first time I've heard of Spandau Ballet. Is this a popular band in Europe? I guess they must be if they can afford seats above the first Enterprise flight.

    Question:

    Kat, does your plan involving putting them in a spaceship and sending then into space? Personally, I think that the spaceship is an unnecessary expense and diverts resources from where they're really needed.

    I think that more research needs to be done on my Space Trebuchet, a crude primitive device that will one day hurl stuff at the Moon.

    I could use the test subjects.

    (note: I have not yet sent anything into space with it. My best result involved a stolen medical waste container being sent skyward, landing 3 miles away.)

    @Electric-Sheep: I am indeed referring to the U.S. constitution. Maybe I'll dial up the U.N. Human rights council though too. I'm certain members like China, Saudi Arabia, and Cuba would agree with me that free expression is grossly overrated.

    @N@tedog: Good point. I'll overlook the fact that they want to crush freedom of speech in order to justify Sharia law if they'll just let me get rid of all the world's annoying music. And by annoying I mean anything I don't like.

    Why the hate for trance? I'm not particularly for or against the genre, but I attended Sensation White this year while studying abroad in Copenhagen and tremendously enjoyed both it and the music playing there.

    Gotta hand it to Rutan... The guy does amazing stuff with aircraft design. I still remember going to see Voyager land from its' around the world flight as a kid. Hopefully this will inspire and promote more development in all areas of aviation.
