The man that fell to earth otherwise known as Tim Peake

[biggs682]

Just back from a visit to Peterborough cathedral where they have astronaut Tim Peake's spacecraft on display .

Well worth a visit , and crazy to think that three astronauts returned to earth in it at speeds of up to 24000 kph on it's 4 hour return journey.

That helmet wouldn’t help him at those speeds....

Funny place to hold an exhibition like that.

It looks a bit claustrophobic in there with Three astronauts.

How long is it there for ? I've loved space stuff since I was a kid

We saw it at the Manchester Museum of Science and Industry...

...on a pallet.

My kids saw it at York Railway Museum a while back.

They won a competition. I only know this because Norwich didn't, which annoyed my mother in law.

Does she live in Peterborough?

Just hope they didn't have beans (or sprouts) for their final meal before climbing into that wee thing

Why?

It's a place devoted to finding wonder in creation, which is exactly what space travel encourages.

I suppose you're right

Looks more like something out of a Jules Verne book than the 21st Century.
