Sadly its not that we've both been into space!  I was reading an article the other day and it transpires that Tim has a fear of heights as well.  Considering he managed to do an EVA/Space walk during his mission to the International Space station, hats off to him as thats something that always sends my pulse racing when I watch the IMAX films of space missions.  I can't even stand on the glass floors at Blackpool Tower and the Spinnaker in Portsmouth without having a vertigo attack!.


Plus for all those Space Odyssey fans out there, its the centenary this month of Arthur C Clark's birth and I wondered if any of our community members were doing anything or attending any events to commemorate this?  Regarding 3001, I live in hope that a film director/producer will make a film of this book, as with CGI they could really do it justice.
