Tim Peake : Good Luck Tomorrow
Good luck with a safe ascent flight tomorrow and then a safe mission with your other crew colleagues Tim.
PS. Don't forget to log your flight time from 'Brakes Off'

Ecce Homo! Loquitur...
Yeah, but as pointed out in "The Right Stuff", once they binned the X-15 and decided to use rockets, they'd didn't need pilots any more - the first ones in space were the monkeys........
Who keeps letting him out? Or is it day release Monday!
I thought this was about patting a fellow ex Army Pilot and damn good man on the back and wishing him Good luck.
Tim, good luck my friend and old colleague. I'm sure you will but spare a thought for our other 'Tim' (Project Juno Cosmonaut) who came so close and is sadly no longer with us when you get there.

For those members interested ... BBC2 Horizon Special now on iPlayer ... Worth a watch

ISTR that before this Tim there was another who trained as a Cosmonaut, but ended up as the backup to that nice Ms Sharman from the Mars factory. If this Tim is as good as Maj Mace then we couldn't have sent someone better into space. Very best wishes from another ex-Junior Service member... even if there was a Royal Air Force before there was an Army Air Corps, the latter has produced more qualified space travellers than the other services combined
By the way, both British Space Shuttle astronauts Piers Sellars and Nicholas Patrick learned to fly with the RAF. So technically, the Army Air Corps come in 3rd place...

Hopefully once Tim get's himself settled into his 17,000 mph 6 months 'Holding Pattern' ... He might join us here on PPRuNe for a chat ... It's not like we get too many 'out of this world' contributions
