Helen Sharman first did this gig 24 years ago, nothing to see here.

Tim Peake is the first British astronaut to visit the ISS. Fact. If there's "nothing to see here", don't comment.

Nearly a quarter of a century ago Helen Sharman went to space, according to her interview on Radio 4 PM ISS is like a 5 star hotel compared to her experience .

And why does that diminish Tim Peake's accomplishment? It doesn't.

It's like saying modern day City winning the league means nothing because we achieved it in the past. Did you think there was "nothing to see here" as Kompany lifted the trophy, because Tony Book had already lifted the old first division trophy?

Its all a bit weird - reminds me of the first Space Shuttle launch back in the early 80's

And also Capricorn 1

I'm not a science geek by any stretch of the imagination but that was brilliant.

Mate, it doesn't ! Seems to be an overload of publicity compared to other missions.

I'm going mad thought it said he'd blasted off into space to join up with Isis !!

It didn't happen. I'm the new buzzer

It's all being filmed in a Russian crack whores attic.

Good to see a 'strawberry blonde' in space. I bet it'll stink of piss on the ISS in six months time.

His space walk today, for those interested this is an animation NASA have made to explain what they'll be doing.


one interesting fact i read, when he goes out in to space the temperatures vary from 121c on the sun side of the space station, and down to -157c on the dark side.

 

[bluekat]

He better wear a few layers then!
