Breaking News: Bronze Age Cemetery Found on Future U.K. Launch Pad Site
Well, folks, it seems like the U.K.’s space ambitions have been put on hold, thanks to a bunch of Bronze Age party poopers. Yes, you heard it right. A Bronze Age cemetery has been discovered on the future site of the U.K.’s first spaceport. Talk about a grave situation!
Spaceport Plans Grounded by Ancient Ancestors
Just when we thought we were about to boldly go where no Brit has gone before, our ancestors decided to remind us that they were here first. The proposed U.K. launch pad site in Sutherland, Scotland, is now a hotbed of archaeological activity. So much for the countdown to lift-off!
“We were all set to break ground when someone found a piece of pottery. Next thing we know, we’re knee-deep in Bronze Age graves. It’s like an episode of Time Team,” said a disgruntled site engineer.
From Spaceport to Cemetery: A Timeline of Events
- 2018: U.K. government announces plans for a spaceport in Sutherland, Scotland.
- 2020: Construction plans are finalized.
- 2021: Bronze Age cemetery discovered on site, halting all construction.
What’s Next for the U.K. Spaceport?
Well, it’s not all doom and gloom. The discovery of the Bronze Age cemetery has provided a fascinating insight into our ancient past. And who knows, maybe our Bronze Age ancestors were the original stargazers, and this is their way of giving us their blessing.
As for the spaceport, it’s back to the drawing board. But don’t worry, we’re sure they’ll find another remote, windswept location in Scotland that’s not sitting on top of an ancient burial ground. Fingers crossed!
“We’re going back to the moon, but first we gotta move some bones,
Our spaceport dreams are on hold, thanks to these ancient stones.
But we won’t let this setback, put our plans on the shelf,
We’ll find a new site, and blast off ourselves.”
So there you have it, folks. The U.K.’s spaceport plans may be grounded for now, but we’re not giving up. After all, the sky’s the limit…unless you find a Bronze Age cemetery, of course.
