CryoSat was the European Space Agency's first in a series of six 'Earth Explorer' satellites designed to explore key environmental problems.

Groovy Retrorama
About Me
- Nick and Nora Charles
- We pay homage to the Thin Man series of films from the 1930s in which William Powell (Nick) and Myrna Loy (Nora)solve mysteries with style, humour and a martini. We explore the mysteries of human behaviour as revealed in politics, media and entertainment (and whatever else catches our fancy).

Nick's Shadowy Acquaintances - "I love you Nicky, you know such lovely people"
