Hyde:  Mind the gap!

It's cheaper to travel by rocket than use the London under-ground, according to BBC Online, which reports that a ticket to travel between Covent Garden and Leicester Square costs £1.50.

"Since the stops are only 300 metres apart, that works out at £8.04 pounds a mile," says the report.  Amateur astronaut Dennis Tito's recent trip into space cost him 14 million pounds - but his journey worked out at £5.61 pounds per mile.
