I would say if there's less than 15 of us then 10:30 sounds a good time to me, if more than 15 it would depend if we do the group booking as I think there is some form of reception so that may have some impact on the time to meet?

We could take a load of blow up dummies, and make it look like there were 15 of us; it might be difficult to distinguish astrodamian from a blow up dummy though :) but i suspect the conversation from the dummy would be more interesting :)

I'd pay £200 to be strapped to Felix for 60 seconds!

Where do I sign up?

;)

Unfortunately for you James I am no tandem master. You need 800 jumps and 40 hours free fall to even go on the training to become one of those. I have just under 2.5 hours free fall so far. So you will have to be strapped To one of the old boys :)

Stuff that! We could just pretend we were jumping out of a plane, like a dress rehersal. It would be fun! Hahah :)

LOL - nope - but if you're interested to see some in the flesh you'd be welcome to drop by my place after the outing. :)

Would love to join you all in my home town, but I'll be on my honeymoon, lounging in the hot tub;-)

We've now booked tickets for this trip on Tuesday 20th August. If anyone else wants to come along, we are booked into the planetarium for the 11:50 showing if you want to join us.

Wonderful day, thanks to all who attended.


 


The planetarium was amazing, I want one.


 


The astronaut training was rigorous, and I'm sure my back will be sore later. It was comical that the result of my training resulted in me becoming the Medical Office, lol:

And Tibbz, don't tell anyone we cheated with the crane and shoveling moon rocks :)
