Summary
What is your council tax liability if you build a holiday bungalow in outer orbit? How would you recycle all that cosmic glassware?

Callum of Oxsted clearly doesn’t know the answers to any of these questions bless him and so has suggested space travel tourism for the first topic of spring. Take it away, beans!
