Space is all about commercial and military operations. I'm using Starlink internet as I type, many people on the forum will have Sky TV.

Sir Alex Ferguson has been sacked this week from his ambassadorial role at Man Utd to save dosh.

Thus is Eric Cantona's response :obscene-birdiedoublered:

Read in a French accent ;)

I'm not sure whether I dislike Cantona or Ferguson more, but he's 100% correct. Ferguson should be able to shit on the boardroom table if he felt like
