Seriously .Fantastic show Major Tim,you have done yourself proud , as those AAC mates of ours who know you knew you would. Safe return!

Lifting the Lab into space wouldn't be that difficult, after all they lifted SkyLab, but just imagine the logistics in getting the tree or lamp post up there too.
Not that straightforward; they damaged it in the process of getting it up, and subsequently dropped it on an Australian cow.

Concur with all comments above.
What a truly inspirational and motivational chap! It's been thoroughly enjoyable to view his pics on Facebook and even more so enjoyable watching the NASA live-stream of his landing.
Safe landing!.

After that re-entry, I think he needs some specific gravity, like say TT Landlord at 4.3%, or Adnams Ghost Ship at 4.5%, or Thwaites Lancaster Bomber at 4.4%....
It doesnt auger well for future space travel does it, really?
He looked pale and weak and borderline emaciated. What hope those who travel further afield for longer? What would an astronaut look like on arriving at a planet? Unable to climb out of the spacecraft perhaps, unable to walk if there is any gravity!
They would only be able to gloat thru the window then press the return to home button.
That is assuming they have survived being shot to pieces by cosmic rays en route and riddled with cancer. Psychopaths due to the loneliness. And then finding that the circuit board that prepares them for the return journey is charred and damaged and they are stuck there until the oxygen runs out.
Good luck guys.

Here is a man deserving of a Knighthood, unlike Sir Philip Spleen.......
Had the misfortune to meet the Fat Green Midget a few years back. He is every bit as loathsome as his TV appearance last week implied. He is a testament to the dishonour of Blair's honours gravy train....
