Five strangest ways to get into space (that we've tried)
Rockets are rubbish. Fortunately, we know this and have been trying to find better ways of getting into space for nearly as long as we've actually been going to space. From Skylon to Project Orion to Alcubierre drives and space elevators, here's our list of the five most bizarre ways we've tried - or are trying - to get spacecraft into orbit.

#1 They didn't mention worm holes either, I so want to watch Interstellar for the first time, but that chance is lost now Or exotic matter with anti gravitational property.

Really informative and interesting, especially for people who are not well educated about space technology...as in, me.

#2 I can't believe you feel that way dustpan which one don't you like?
And #3 Ringbinder I don't want to make you look silly in front of thunderpants but go outside for a minute and look up, space from where you are standing (and I don't know where you are but it probably doesn't matter) space is UP okay? it's the bit after the sky, try and stay with me here it's brilliant, after the clouds (white fluffy things) and a bit of other stuff that's where you'll find space and there's lots of it that's why it's called space. Now look down, if there is a bit of grass or soil have a rummage and you might find amongst the used condoms and beer cans (rough where you live isn't it?) a Worm, now the said worm shouldn't really be on the top of the ground as it risks being eaten by birds or frogs but if you look really carefully near the worm (they are not known for wandering far)there will be a WORM HOLE, the worm will slither down this hole OR actually it might just make a new one, just like that it might think Feck it I'll make a new worm hole and it just will, down to it's little thatched cottage beneath the ground. My point is that the worm hole is going exactly the opposite direction to the way it would need to go to be useful as a means of getting into space.
Just to reassure you re the film interstellar, just wait until you are old then if you are lucky all your past memories will be erased and you will be able to watch it again as if for the first time, of course you may not recognise the people you are watching it with! just enjoy the film. hick feck.

JJ, to give you the benefit of the doubt I assume you got my beautiful name -thundersnow- all screwed up due to autocorrect, so I forgive you this one time just be sure not to let it happen again..you might want to start proof reading your comments before posting them. Of course at this point you will not be able to correct this since I posted after you. Other than that you're comment is pretty hilarious

#6 I have been having a few problems with my auto correct thundersnowball but I've taken your advice and got my Labrador bitch to proof read all my messages from now onwards, she needs something to occupy her since having corrective surgery at the V..E..T's (I have to write it like that cos she'll get all worried if she reads that word). I know you will be curious as to what kind of surgery she had to have and I can only say it was a little embarrassing. We got her cheap from the local faulty pet shop in town a couple of years ago.
Okay look I'll explain she was born with two, well er, ermm she had two, lady parts if you get my drift..We called her Snatches.
