Quick trip to South Kensington

 ...to see two things - the Fashioning Masculinities exhibition at the V&A, which is finishing on 6 November, and a 72-foot rocket that is temporarily outside the Science Museum.

Simple and elegant, 18th century

Amusing little film danced by men in underwear

In "Spitfire", "choreographer Sir Matthew Bourne OBE ... takes an affectionate look at male vanity and the world of men's underwear advertisements"

Also visible is Aitor Throup's translucent "Ensemble"

Conspicuous consumption of fine fabric in India

"The finer the muslin, the more fabric could be gathered in a 

jama's skirt and ruched in its sleeves"

West meets East in two dragon robes, one made into a jacket

The rocket tucks under the wing of a converted 747  (you can just about see it in the final photo). During air launch to orbit the plane points upward to get LauncherOne at the best angle, and when it's released the plane lurches. (I feel seasick just thinking about it.) It will be launched from the UK soon, from Spaceport Cornwall, Newquay. So far, LauncherOne has delivered cubesats to low earth orbit.
