I can't see Starship being approved for Nasa use by 2024 even if it were flying today.

Newspapers, Radio, and Television all have a named editor who is responsible for output. Facebook doesn't.
Not really, they were still £4000, its just that the government paid the full amount rather than 75% (20 years ago)

That's wrong.

In 2000 the fees that the UK student had to pay was £1000 a year (£1700 in today's currency), and the government paid about £3000 - a total of £4000, or £6800 in today's money.

Students had to pay this upfront to study. In 2006 these upfront fees were dropped.
