"It's wrong to wish on Space Hardware" sang erstwhile "Bard of Barking", Billy Bragg back in the early '80's. Well, William Bloke, perhaps it's time to update your lyrics to "It's wrong to arse about on the top of fallen Space Hardware".The above picture shows the Kazakhstanian version of Steptoe and Son surveying their (s)crap metal kingdom. It transpires that a fairly hefty amount of Russian space waste is purposely dumped in this region on the Siberian border. It does, however, have the attraction of being the one place in the world where you can safely utter the phrase "Look, a Spaceship" without being compared to either David Icke or Reg Presley. The only problem is that this phrase will almost certainly be followed by a terse " Fuck you! I saw it first, you Bastard - It's mine"
"Space isn't remote at all. It's only an hour's drive away if your car could go straight upwards"
