        The Challenger disaster was a really sad event.
        What are your thoughts?

          Jocks, I've visited the Space Shuttle Challenger memorial. It is located in Section 46 of Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia, featuring a monument and the buried commingled remains of the crew. A very moving moment to visit the site and stand there looking at it.

          I recall on the day of the disaster, 28th January 1986, listening to Steve Wright on BBC Radio 2 and he suddenly stopped talking then started saying there were clouds and plumes of smoke etc. A very tragic and sad loss indeed.

            I'm looking forward to the Artemis II splashdown at some point this coming Friday.

            More appealing would be a press conference with whoever is supposed to be running or owning RUFC present. The supporters, as stakeholders, need to be shown more respect and an insight into how the current sh!t show has been allowed to continue and they, the owners must take some responsibility instead of going into hiding and at the same time taking people's hard earned without a by your leave.
            What are the plans for RUFC in the next 5 years? We need to know before buying a season ticket for 2026/27 don't you think?
            Is that too much to ask?

                Ah, back on the site talking nonsense about h!jacking. Bored with your colouring book and crayons?


                Still yet again, nothing of any significance to offer.
                You're not even smart enough to be a sn!per.
                Might just sh00t yourself in the foot. Now that would be a distraction.

                Just stick to your colouring book and crayons, eh? Green's a good colour to use.
                Or are you finding that concept too difficult to grasp?
                Don't embarrass yourself.

                    Not much to watch and learn from me.
                    I gave up using crayons in primary school.
                    Have you managed to do one little picture yet?


                    By the way, do you pat people on their heads when talking to them? Then again multitasking is probably not your forte.

                    Keep up the good work though.

                      Looks like the drop zone location for Artemis 2 may be changed if current weather conditions persist.

                      Surely NASA aren't trying to wrong foot interested sightseers?

                        Artemis Crew are now back on Planet Earth without even a major glitch or controversy.
                        Onwards and upwards now.
                        The sky's the limit!

                          What a fantastic and inspiring mission this has been. The photos they took are awesome. Well done NASA.

                            The Moon's surface temperature. Very temperature mental. Constantly running both hot and cold.

                            "The lunar exosphere is too skimpy to trap or spread the Sun?s energy, so differences between sunlit and shadowed areas on the Moon are extreme. Temperatures near the Moon?s equator can spike to over 250?F (121?C) in daylight, then plummet after nightfall to -208?F (-133?C). In deep craters near the Moon?s poles, permanent shadows keep the surface even colder ? NASA?s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has measured temperatures lower than -410?F (-246?C)."

                            Mind blown!!

                                Good job they didn't go as the material on the soles of the astronauts' boots at that time, 1969, were made of deep, silicone rubber ribs designed to provide grip on the fine, powdery, and abrasive lunar regolith.
                                Not much protection for the feet from the high temperatures on the Lunar surface, eh?
