Human Beings have NO future in space!
Mining the Asteroid Belt?
No problem... here's your single steel ingot. That'll be 10m AstroEuroRupees, Sir.
Make sure you have your 30 tonne hollow lead block on today, Sir!
Looks nippy outside. That gal on the Weather Channel says solar flares again today!
Yah... me too. Must be the radiation. I'd rub some 'Cancer-Be-Gone' TM on that if I were you.
Tonight? Oh nothing much. Me and the missus are gonna stay in by the fire tonight... we're thinking we might build another 'iSprog' TM to add to our collection. I was hoping for a lad but B&Q had sold out of the... erm... uknowwhats! Some scrawny old geezer called Gates came in and bought the last one... for his head apparently!
Oh be careful on the way home, Sir. Last chap ran through a single dust particle at 1/3 light and they're still hoovering up the remains on the A400,235,005... yes, the Mars Circular where it meets the Earth Gap... right outside 'The Sproket and Cat Flap'... no, I don't go in for retro pubs... give me an old zero-g boozer anyday!
Anyhow, careful how you go, Sir!
C'ya next year!
