I dunno. From reading this thread I guess he's a British Astronaut, wot wot.

Nice !

Will listen in, thanks CMDR!

For UK members, put BBC 1 on now.......Stargazing Live Tim Peak Launch.

Thanks for the info... I'm looking at Prof. Brian Cox (real-life Buckaroo Banzai) , CMDR Chris Hadfield and Dara O'Brien.
BBC is making a big deal about this!

If you have no idea what's going on in the world then I admire your asceticism, but perhaps the post of Moderator in an international forum isn't the right place for you (?)

Bitter much?

Yeah first brit on the international space station. He's also a major so major tim puns abound. UK TV making a big thing about it, quite rightly.

Thanks, I had no idea.

Dutch news doesn't cover the details of the Britsh space program in any detail.

It does cover all sorts of interesting things like earthquakes in North Holland though.
The unseasonably warm weather indicating that (yet again) there will be no elfstedentocht this year is also a favorite recurring topic, but I'm sure you already knew that

We have a space program who knew!

The budget just about stretches to a seat on a Russian rocket!

If you can spare $30million-$40million then you too can undergo spaceflight training, have a seat on a Soyuz up to the ISS and spend time being a space tourist.
