Awesome, sounds like you had a lucky escape, who would have had to retrieve it from the sewage works....!?

Chip was the only one with a spare set of clothes... so...

Finally your "Rocket Scientist" under your picture comes true!
I hope the Surrey Space Centre people snap you 2 & Mrs C up!
What next?
Shame about one of the lego people aka you & mrs c loosing a piece of themselves!!!

WELL DONE IAN!!!

I've got to do quite a bit of video editing, but here's a snapshot from the flight. It went far better than we had expected - we thought we'd lost it for quite some time, as the tracking wasn't responding until the last possible moment.

I don't think I'll ever get to take another photo like this anytime soon!

Well Done again Ian.
Really pleased for you, your other rocketman & of course your head of admin mrs c!!!
Behind every successful rocket scientist is the wife!!

Keep photos coming.
Off to dream of get a riding in bransons space/moon thingy!!
