Off to the Moon! Part-One.

The Trump Mission?

For humanity to return to the Moon will cost billions if not trillions and something will have to give way, so it has been decided that the International Space station will have to go within the next few years? 

The United States of America is determined to beat China getting to the Moon in this next fifteen year period and the U.S. wants to do what JF Kennedy pressured NASA to do forty years ago, but with a base rather than just landing and coming home!

The problems with this are enormous, if their is no Space station as a stepping stone on these proposed missions! The ISS has at least another twenty good years of operational service and Russia will perhaps have to foot the bill for its replacement?

A Moon base may never really become that stepping stone to Mars as is being promised, to maintain it will be very difficult even with 6% gravity over that of none? Trump wants to undermine the Kennedy legacy as much as he is doing politically to Obamas!

Motorway Service Vehicles.

Highway, Autobahn etc.

Most people across the globe today have traveled on one type or another of these roads. But it takes a fleet of many types of vehicles to maintain and service the needs of modern travel. 

Sometimes in our journeys we will notice cone crews at work in a most dangerous environment. We will also see various other vehicles doing jobs such as changing signage and bridge repairs, while also monitoring traffic flows.

The fleets are made up of common civilian trucks, cars, vans and tractor units, because these are cheaper to replace at the end of their working lives.
