*Bob* Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I have access to land in Kent where I have permission to break free from the earth's gravitational pull in a small space rocket powered by burning liquid oxygen. I mainly fly to the moon and to Jupiter. I also slingshot around Saturn and - on occasion - land on asteroids. Nothing beats the feeling of re-entering the earth's atmosphere protected only by carbon heat-shields and hoping the 'chute will open. I prefer to land the old fashioned way - into the Pacific and awaiting collection by a passing aircraft carrier.So, if anyone wants to swap details on the best planets to visit, or can recommend some good galaxies where they accommodate interplanetary travellers, drop me a message or post the details on this thread. Happy Flying. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/15833-any-other-astronauts-in-east-dulwich/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
cincinatti kid Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Do you reckon there's anyone who'd want to visit Uranus? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/15833-any-other-astronauts-in-east-dulwich/#findComment-411821 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scribe Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Wow, *Bob*. I never knew I had a fellow astronaut in my midst. But tell me, considering we're 'colleagues' in the field of inter-planetary travel, what's your preferred angle of ascent?

Scribe Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Blimey, *Bob*. I wish I was as care-free as you are. In fact, if I were to use your geometry, I might just stop bouncing off of the underside of the earth's atmosphere for once and actually get somewhere. Honestly, it's refreshing to be amongst professionals, at last!

Proxima Centauri Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 You haven't ventured to the Centaurus constellation then? If you had, you might have come across me - some less than 5 light-years away. You should pay me a visit. What I lack in size, stature and luminosity, I make up in appearance. What do you think?

Scribe Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Sorry, Proxima. But me and *Bob* have made it a rule to venture further than where no man from East Dulwich has been before. And, forgive us if we're wrong, but the Centaurus constellation sounds like the kind of boutique you'd find on Lordship Lane. So, unless there's violent life forms that can be overcome with a bow and arrow, we're not interested, I'm afraid.Buck Rogers has come out of retirement, give him a call.

Scribe Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 As *Bob*'s second in command, although that's due to change soon, it gives me no pleasure to tell you that only fully-fledged space cadets are allowed on-board the USS Hunterprise.Try again in the summer.
