All the best to them for a successful 'mission'

(let's hope the weather cooperates)

So great to have a Brit participating in a mission!

For a joke, Tim should start having a cup of tea on the sea bed - from a Queen Elizabeth II mug!

[Space Pete]

Wooo, go Tim!

(Sorry for the Tim Peake fest - seeing an astronaut from my own country is a new experience for me.)

I think we can allow you some latitude...

These are the missions I want to see.

Launch in 2025 to 1999 A010.

180 days to a NEA and back.

JSC will build a massive deep space hab for launch on SLS.

Orion, CPS, DSH will fly there with some astronauts and grab some rocks.

Ticker tape parade as the first deep space explorers splash down safely after a 100% success.

More NEA missions.

Mars moons in the 2030s.

Mars landing by 2040.

I don't see why gateway and SEP are needed.

Science Under Pressure with Aquanaut Timothy Peake "The Sweet Lift" Topside

Published on Jun 15, 2012 by NASAanalogTV
"The Sweet Lift"
The second Science Under Pressure Experiment is here! In this topside experiment, Aquanaut Tim Peake (ESA) tests the lift capability of a remote-control helicopter with a payload of chocolate candies. Do you think the helicopter will be able to lift more or fewer candies under the increased pressure of the Aquarius Habitat?

Deploying a seismic sensor off of the sub on this morning's EVA. This is a great way to do the job! ‪#NEEMO16‬
