 Concerns about placing nuclear weapons in space go back 50 years; it was even a sub-theme of “Star Trek” episodes in the late 1960s, just as the treaty was coming into effect.

 Meanwhile, Palmer and Chelsea would be insulted by any suggestion that he\'s taken a step down collectively in order to take a step forward individually. Chelsea still believe their policy of amassing top, young talent on long-term contracts will leave them well placed to compete with English football\'s finest for years to come.
