So, was asked to do a TV interview today about the latest billionaire space jolly.

I declined.

Not because I don't have a take on the topic, but because I didn't get the feeling that that was the angle the broadcaster was really looking for.

I mean, it's never been obvious to me that billionaires spending hundreds of millions on superyachts has got me any closer to having one or that it has done anything much to "democratise access to the high seas" 🤷‍♂️
