Tim Peake mission overview
Named after Isaac Newton?s text Naturalis Principia Mathematica, ESA?s Principia mission will be the eighth long-duration mission to the International Space Station. British astronaut Tim Peake will be launched from Baikonur in Kazakhstan onboard a Russian Soyuz vehicle, spending five months in orbit. He?ll carry out an intensive schedule of European and international experiments, in addition to numerous educational activities from space.
Not long now until Tim will reach the Peake of his career. Cheers!
Go go Britania go Europa
dont cry russia
Hope he takes off safe because this is the most dangerous part – the traditional take off is practically a suicidal mission. You're seating on a pile of metal & trying to light a cigarette next to oxygen acetylene tanks & nitrogen bombs. Mortal danger. When are they gonna find a safer way to take off? It's far too risky for the benefit. NASA lost billions of dollars & irreplaceable human astronauts that way for little scientific benefit that they don't bother returning to the moon. So far what can you do in near space other than placing satelites & repairs? Not much.
i love sciene
