Priti priti priti Patel Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 This geezer has excellent coverage. Started out streaming from his laptop but now has a fully kitted out broadcast van and must be pouring hundreds of thousands of dollars of equipment at every launch. Also gets stung from time to time with fake names when reading out his comments, which is wonderful banter. Ice Wallow Come being a recent example. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Forth Rail Bridge is still standing after 130 years. The Forth Road Bridge needed closing after 50. I'll take Victorian iron and rivets technology in space anytime 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Imagine being in the crew room about an hour before launch (not sure), and your boss says "No biggy, but we've got a bit of a hydrogen leak going on below that thing, probably just a few nuts need tightening, are you up for it?". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lofarl Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 There’s been little cloud these last few nights and I’ve found myself staring up at the stars while walking the dog. Got one of those sky tracker apps that tells you what you are looking at. Turns out that big red thing wasn’t mars after all. Next step is a telescope. Watched a few videos and one that is recommended is the size of an artillery gun. I want one that I can bung in a wardrobe when not in use that will give me a decent view of the night skies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
