What do you do if you're an astronaut stuck up in a space station for five months? Take pictures of Hull, obviously... please log in to view this image
He's rubbish. The bombing run may have shown good grouping, but he's about 2k south east of target judging by the smoke. Saying that, it looks like Grimsby's ****ed.
See!! I'ts not a ****hole!! Fascinating to see the clear line of the Wolds, North and South, where the checkered fields end.
You might also be interested in this: http://world.time.com/timelapse/ If you click the "Explore the World" part (on the right, below the pictures), you can put Hull in, and see how it has changed (via satellite pictures) since 1984. Other places like Dubai and Las Vegas might be more dramatic, but still quite interesting if you can make it out.
It is indeed, he seems a bit of a character, though he's just landed back on earth, so I suspect he's got other priorities now.
It really is a magnificent sight from above. I was lucky enough to fly over the City, including just a few (hundred) feet over the Bridge, in a Tornado F3 and it fair made me proud. The KC had only just gone up and that was a sight to behold. The pilot wouldn't accidentally drop anything on Grimsby though. Skeggy though, fook me, it looks like a caravan park from the sky. Actually it looks like that from the ground too but from the air, its just lots of small boxes.
I looked at his twitter feed last night, he seems a top bloke and has put some great pictures up of a worlds eye view from space. Much kudos.
