Any other Astronauts in East Dulwich?

[*Bob*]

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.

Do you reckon there's anyone who'd want to visit Uranus?

[Scribe]

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?

[*Bob*]

Straight up - and then left a bit.

[Scribe]

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]

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]

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.

That'll be Iceland on Rye lane then! ;-)

Hey *Bob* - I'm a bit of a space cadet right now, any good?

[Scribe]

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.

[karter]

Legal, space cadets are always welcome in our team, it's how you find the best.

*Bob* and Scribe, see you up at Alpha Centaury for a latte.

[legalbeagle]

karter trumps Scribe, so I'm in.

Ha.

Poo to you with knobs on.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Oh *Bob*, you are all I long for, all I worship and adore, in other words, please be true, in other words, I love you.

[Townleygreen]

*Bob* is a genius - official

[*Bob*]

No, just a bit of a tit. But thanks all the same.

[cincinatti kid]

*bob* you are the Barcelona of the Eastdulwichforum.

[Narnia]

What, the tapas place? Have you seen that thread? You've been insulted *bob*, I think.

[Lost Yorkshire Man]

I took the wife for a nice Valentines meal on moon. The food was great but there wasn't much of an atmosphere.

[????]

Can't we get someone on Mars FFS...It's not rocket science is it

[Brendan]

Are you involved with these guys by any chance? http://www.csmonitor.com/Science/Cool-Astronomy/2011/0107/Scientists-plan-Uranus-probe

*Bob*, I have a friend in the Palace who describes herself as an independent space and defense professional on a certain social network. Any use to you?
