Yes.
He's actually a member here...
An abridged version of his talk was the speech at the ANHC gala dinner last year...
I haven't actually read the article but I am assuming it is on that theme...

"Dr Walsh, who has been working in astrochemistry for five years, believes it is a shortage of beer in space that is holding back further space exploration."

Really???!!! Can you just picture it ... the first astronaut to be caught DUI??

Ah yes, but would it be at .02 or .05?
Actually given the likelihood of US involvement it would be .08 and they couldn't give you a reading unless you were showing obvious signs...
Ok, if you could just spacewalk in a straight line for me...
Actually, if you were out in space you might have a valid reason for refusing a breathalyser...

Andrew's presentation at last year's NHC was one of the highlights of the event. I was
expecting to be underwhelmed for some reason, but it was fantastic.

So long as you were not too badly off, and didn't just moon the officer instead.

Smudge and Screwtop: your cheques are in the mail - thanks

I gave the talk at a local event in Townsville a few weeks back. ABC local radio picked up on it, and then a few other ABC radio stations around Oz. Then ABC online, who wrote the article.

Anything that increases the profile of beer (in a positive way) in the media is good as far as I am concerned. Makes the bosses at JCU happy too
