England’s reservoirs at lowest level for a decade, experts call for hosepipe bans. No new reservoirs built since 1989. Over a trillion litres a year lost to leaks. Water companies paid out £85bn in dividends. No regulator/Govt had a national plan. https://t.co/P86HGHO05j

To feed an astronaut it costs £20,000 per person per day! (@BBCNews) Still doesn't make a visit to "space" for a few minutes make sense, although they could've picked up a takeaway before going. Nor does it justify giving politicians subsidised food.
