[Chicken Run]

Worth a bounce if only to talk about something else, the launch went well and the 4 crew are safely aboard the ISS.

Select Starlink in the Constellation box to see his 'trains' wizzing across space. Does make you wonder why these things don't hit each other.

Starship SN15 Flight Test this evening hopefully.

It is quite a long window (now until 2.00am) but hopefully sooner rather than later.

Pretty amazing, this is the next step in flight certainly around the planet, watch space port open up around the globe creating a web of flights.

Yes,it's very reminiscent of aeroplane travel at the beginning of last century where the super rich would pay just to experience flight.
Then the rich would pay to travel by plane to other countries and then plane tickets became more affordable generally.
Im hoping 30 years from now a trip to the moon might be a realistic aspiration for everyday people.
This century will certainly be the century of space I think.

He'll set the record as the oldest person to visit space too. He is remarkably well preserved for 90!

Yeah, still got a great sense of humour. Hoping I'll still be that bright in 25 years time!

Captain Kirk looks a bit apprehensive!

 

[Perry's Tracksuit Bottoms]

They keep calling them Astronauts. Next time I go on holiday I might insist on being called 'the pilot'.

 

[Brok]

I never realised Captain Kirk had 3 ears. Yes, he's got a left ear, a right ear, and a final frontier.

Bill getting a bit emotional. Bezos looks like the guy who has been cornered by the drunk at a party.
