A3 In Tenerife in the Canary Islands, there was a whole hill of observatories. Would have loved to go back after dark! #PTTravel @kate_frankie

A3. Best night sky = #Iceland! This photo was from #Thingvellir in September.

A1 I used to do research for space stations. Every little thing has to be thought off: Nothing is random everything is plant even more than in a movie I think that's fascinating #pttravel

A3 Not an observatory, but this was the pre-dawn scene last November at @NASA_Wallops before a resupply launch to the International Space Station. That's the pad lit up four miles away. #PTTravel PTTravel

A3 A print I bought of the sky I saw through a huge telescope on my travels. I really want to go to another observatory

@TravelAtWill Is that the desert where they have the secret area and UFO sightings? Someone had to bring up aliens.

replying to @findinganeish A3. Shamefully there’s an observatory here in Dundee that I’ve yet to visit. Maybe this Doors Open Day. #PTTravel

A4 I likely couldn't go, but I'd at least like to see a trip to Mars in my lifetime. #PTTravel

A4. I probably wouldn’t go on the 1st voyages as those are likely to be 1 way trips, but if it ever got as convenient as visiting #Europe from the #USA, absolutely. In the meantime, we need to remember there is no #PlanetB and we need to take care of life on this one.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A4. Again, I don’t think I would. I travel to experience new cultures, explore new landscapes and encounter new wildlife. Not to look at space rocks out of a window. #PTTravel

A5 I've visited several copies of the ISS modules (one had Buzz Aldrin's signature). Space stations like the ISS are amazing research labs, I would love to do research there #pttravel

A6 Hubby is definitely a Trekky. He had to pose with the Enterprise at the Air and Space Museum in Washington! #PTTravel @kate_frankie
