I know you shouldn’t laugh at other peoples miss-fortune but this somehow appeals to my sense of humour. The Chinese space agency was conducting a ground test a week or so back and instead of sitting on the launchpad it took off, split up and then crashed back to earth narrowly missing a built up city area. Not good.

Somewhere in a little back room there is a little Chinese man or woman who’s only job was to ensure it didn’t take off during the test and will be sitting there muttering the immortal words “bugger me” before slowly getting up and quietly walking out of the room.
