What A Rocket Launch Looks Like From The International Space Station

The rocket that you’re seeing in this one-and-a-half minute time lapse video (which condensed about 15 minutes) is the Russian Soyuz-FG Rocket, launched in November 2018 to bring supplies to the International Space Station. On the ground here on Earth, this rocket is a towering figure, with a height of over 40 meters. But from a view above our planet, the rocket looks really tiny.

Compared to the vastness of the universe, our creations look really miniscule. But to us, our creations are great and significant.

"As foreigners advanced, archers would shoot arrows at them through tiny slits in the castle walls that allowed them to see out without letting enemies see in."

Not quite right. It was the foreigners (The Normans) who built the castles.

I didn't know that Britain only consisted of England, that Tesco sold 24 cans of Stella for £4, that you can get housing benefit if you have savings over 16,000 and that you can buy a pint for around a pound.
Oh, because none of it is correct, that will be why.

e0cs0r is correct - the article is staggeringly incorrect.
If the writer of it is British then she lives in a totally different Britain to the rest of us (even allowing for the passage of time).

Also I've been to the doctors several times in the last few years (both for myself, with my wife and with our young son) and I don't remember ever having to wait for longer than about 15 minutes. Appointments are usually available the same day if my son is ill or it's something that can't wait. If it's something non vital then you are usually seen the following day. I appreciate anecdote does not = evidence but it's yet another time when an article does down our (free at the point of need) health service when it's pretty damned amazing!
