Joining #PTTravel from Maryland to talk with @kate_frankie about space -- which seem a little more than a part-time proposition.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie #pttravel I'm in Amesbury. Can't complain about the rain; we need it! Only 35 days until the next trip, though!

A1 #PTTravel I’ve been to The California Science Center in Los Angeles and saw Space Shuttle Endeavor, probably the most interesting thing I’ve done.

A1 #pttravel If you made a scale model of the Solar System, with the Sun in London, the size of a football ... Pluto would be somewhere near Tokyo.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A1. The thought that there are more stars in the universe than there are grains of sand on Earth is still one of the most mind-blowing ideas I can think of. #PTTravel

A1. The first UK space port is reportedly going to be built way up north in Sutherland near Durness, where my family have their roots. #pttravel

replying to @vickyinglis13 @vickyinglis13 A1 #pttravel Most of the early sci-fi had it at Woomera in Australia. But, of course, they had transport that could get you there in an hour!

A2 #PTTravel I don’t think I would go. Nothing I really aspire to see outside this world.

replying to @findinganeish @findinganeish Yes. Its almost totally beyond visualisation. I remember seeing a documentary putting Earth against the Sun then against other giant stars for size. Incredible #PTTravel
