Mind how you go

Often wondered - how do you scratch your bum in one of those suits ?!

Even worse if you need a dump all sealed up like that. Hope it's anti mist glass on his helmet

Hope they have a pressure washer when he gets back inside

I do wish him well with no mishaps

I think he probably checked those tethering lines many times Graham, I know I would.

It said on the news this morning that they have jet packs "in case of emergency" but they have never had to use them yet

If you want to see him go over your house - try this:

Do they have ejector seats and parachutes as well?

It seems it avoids rough areas as our area isn't on the list

We signed up a while ago and we still stand outside whenever we receive an e-mail to tell us when it is going to go across our area, so long as it is a fairly clear evening. I just find it incredible how dead on they are with all their details - I find the whole thing amazing.

I, on the other hand, find the whole thing depressingly boring ... prefer under water exploration me.

Sounds like they aborted this one because it was turning into just that

Quite right - they don't want to lose the hub caps

They'd be lucky if that was all they lost. The solar panels would be off and on a neighbours house before you could say free energy

Maybe ... much safer than a priority boarding space flight though

Wonder what the freeze-dried canapes are like ?!
