    Is it just me or does this sort of thing feel a lot more claustrophobic after watching "Apollo 13"? Tom Hanks has a lot to answer for! :)

    Then he's the peak of his career (sob) but l myself was never scared of heights so in my retirement next year I have free fall on my bucket list. But I guess Lee has it on his this year.

    Yes in 1994 but it wasn't as good as the first.

    His nationality doesn't really amaze to be honest. So what if he's English? I don't suddenly feel more amazed because the guy doing it is English rather than American or Russian or Chinese.

    By the way I actually think ALL space flight is amazing and that the ISS is a miracle of engineering but dominating the news coverage simply because the guy doing it this time is English? Nah not for me ta.

    So ISS is a miracle and Space flight is amazing but you moan about it being the lead news item on a day when only the second Brit in history goes up there or do you think it should be the main item everyday

    ISS is 250 mile up approx yet it takes 6hour to get there in a rocket. Couldn't they wait til it flew over Russia then set off?

    Joking aside its a great achievement for Tim Peake

    Really? This is a bloke that will inspire thousands of kids (and adults) to take up science and discover loads of new things. That for me is his greatest achievement and from what I've heard it's something he's very keen to promote whilst he's up there. I'm not sure what you'd want to be lead news story, he's the type of person this country should be celebrating.

    Don't get me wrong I've nothing against what he's doing. Fair play to him he's going to be lonelier than a millionaire in glossop. I think it was more the sensationalised way it was reported really. For a while from the way it was being reported I thought it was some kind of new groundbreaking rocket that he was using or some kind of rescue mission or totally new mission he was on when as it turns out he's just using the standard rocket that everyone else does and doing the 'standard' mission that everyone else does.

    I guess that in a way what frustrates me about the coverExplainingt these missions are so regular now, the Soyuz rocket is so regularly used, that we shouldn't be covering it the way we are. Introducing everyone to these rockets for the first time? They're 50 year old for gods sake. Really what it shows is a bit of ignorance on the part of our media and our education system that something as spectacular but also as regular as this only becomes newsworthy now it's an Englishman going
