I just got home and logged on to NASA TV. The Soyuz is on its way to the ISS with the Billionaire twice Space Tourist on board. He must have given some big tips to the Russians to be allowed two trips. Having a name with Microsoft certainly helps. I would have preferred seeing the Japanese civilian tourist being chosen but apparently he flunked his trip once more. I wonder if the ...

Without meaning to tempt fate, it has been cloudy with showers today, but has now cleared up, hopefully it will stay that way, 3 objects to view tonight, the Soyuz, then shuttle, then about 40 seconds after the ISS, i think there will be to much of a gap between the 2 to be able to take a photo showing them both, but I will try!

darren13 replied 8 months, 1 week ago

Olympus replied 8 months, 1 week ago
Definatley shifting much faster than ISS, it was going warp speed! A bank of cloud came over just as she did but luckily there were large gaps in the cloud so i was able to see it, it actually flared a couple of times. I was able to show it to 2 of my neighbours, one of them commented on how fast it was moving, and the other neighbour was quite excited so i told him i would be out again in about ...

Oh no It is impossible to go on board. The ship is anchored off at sea and then security measures imply that only the passengers and crew can go on board. The only person they might accept is the Prince but I don't think he has much interest. I always pay a courtesy visit to the existing Cunard queens although nowadays they are rather Cunard-ival than Cunard. Their call signs are still GBQM and GBQV and Southampton is still their port of...
