Flora MaDonald Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 13 minutes until the space shuttle takes off from Kazakhstan. I'm not usually into things like this, but brilliant coverage. I'm not sure what they'll do when the astronauts take a pish outside the bus before they board the shuttle!! Tim Peake seems like a good guy - I wish him all the best. His choice of music on the way up is Queen, U2 and Coldplay!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnyTJS Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 I'm sure he's a good guy, but his musical taste is honking. Bowie, Hawkwind, even Elton, have dished out far better space-related fare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you the kind of person who would sing this for the whole plane journey going on holiday to Barbados? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlxTxWNi7k0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a troo fak that I sing 'The Strand' by Roxy Music whenever I'm on the Strand in London - dunno how anyone could resist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, i have to say, I was expecting something a bit cleverer than that reply. I'm not sure he will be allowed back to the UK again. I just hope they don't decide to take him out with one of them super accurate British missiles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toepoke Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Watched the coverage this evening, the 6 year old me would've been extremely jealous of Major Peake and the kids getting the day off school to scream "COME ON TIM". The 46 year old version of me just got nostalgic for watching Apollo missions.......and Wimbledon when Britain were shite at tennis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckielugger Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 I couldn't help but notice the similarity between the landed Soyuz capsule and Wallace and Gromit's rocket ! And of course they both worked very well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
