A thread concerning both aviation and space flight coupled together with the branch of science which deals with celestial objects, space, and the physical universe as a whole. The Chinese space station Tiangong-1 is set to fall to Earth over this weekend. The latest from the European Space Agency (ESA) predicts 1615 hrs GMT on Sunday 1st April 2018 plus or minus nine hours. This tracker is continuously updated to show the current position and height as the orbit decays. When Skylab fell to Earth in 1979 a $400 littering ticket was issued by a park service official in Western Australia; apparently it still hasn’t been paid and has been written off. Useful Sites Heavens-Above is a website developed and maintained by Chris Peat as Heavens-Above GmbH. The web site is dedicated to helping people observe and track satellites orbiting the Earth without the need for optical equipment such as binoculars or telescopes. It provides detailed star charts showing the trajectory of the satellites against the background of the stars as seen during a pass. Special attention is paid to the ISS, Iridium flares and other satellites. Space shuttle missions were tracked until the program was retired in July 2011. The website also offers information on currently visible comets, asteroids, planet details, and other miscellaneous information. N2YO provides real time tracking and pass predictions with orbital paths and footprints overlaid on Google Maps.It features an alerting system that automatically notifies users via SMS and/or email before International Space Station crosses the local sky. The N2YO.com system powers ESA's, Space.com's and many other's satellite tracking web pages. NASA Lunar Eclipse Explorer computes the local circumstances for every lunar eclipse for any century from 2000 BC to 3000 AD. Forget about city etc, just enter your latitude and longitude as a decimal. NASA Solar Eclipse Explorer computes the local circumstances for every solar eclipse for any century from 1500 BC to 3000 AD. Again, forget about city etc, just enter your latitude and longitude as a decimal. International Space Station Transit Finder calculates when the ISS transits across the face of the sun and moon from a position near you. Don’t forget your solar filters if you’re looking at the sun. Telescope.org is where you can request The Open University’s automated telescope on Mount Teide, Tenerife to take a photograph for you. Airliners.net is an aviation website that includes an extensive photo database of aircraft and airports, as well as a forum catering to civil and military aviation together with spaceflights. If you have any questions, please ask and I’ll do my best to answer them.

Reading a thread on Jenni Faulkner and her fucked finger through Reynaud's, brought up this old favourite.

Please add David Ogden Stiers to List of the Missed. He was on a MASH theme team in 2015.

Great juxtaposition of stories in that article "Dying woman sees daughter married.." "Former model Jodie Kidd wears sexy lingerie to boost her mood."

Are you Mugabe in disguise?

Bill came 4th in the search for the U.K. entry in A Song for Europe 1957.

Buried at the bottom of that string of froth-fest stories in Daily Mail style is the announcement that Bruce Robinson has finally caved in to the offers to put Withnail and I on the west end stage. He says: " They’ve paid me a s***load of dough for the rights, so I said OK! I’m getting old and thought: “F*** it, go on then”, He's 71 and has been fond of a party, including smoking, for decades. One to watch

Married Donald Campbell's widow, didn't know that. Two worlds collide or whit.

Noted. Hoping someone wins, I dislike the coin toss. Might need two again later.

Dying woman wears sexy lingerie to boost her mood. Now there is a story.

To be honest if my son miraculously gets married I would get shit faced too.

According to the UK's Daily Star, the test firing will take place extremely close to Sweden and will involve the Russian naval cruiser Marshal Ustinov, though the newspaper seems to confuse the Barents Sea and the Baltic Sea.

Ernst August misses his son's wedding after going on a bender and being hospitalised with alcohol poisoning. http://royalmusingsblogspotcom.blogspot.co.uk/2018/03/prince-ernst-august-is-in-coma.html http://royalmusingsblogspotcom.blogspot.co.uk/2018/03/oh-what-hanover.html

Maybe take Bill Lucas and Carmel McSharry off the List of the Lost?

Hmm free not really. At the beginning of the decade he was 60 a comic and around 100 for any other item signed. He is now 125 per signature usually at shows. The line is outrageous, he signs an item about every 3 seconds, and all you can do is say hi. You pick up your item and walk away. My guess is he signs a 1,000 plus items at an average show bringing in over a 100 grand an appearance in which the promoter probably agrees to an autograph guarantee they pay the difference of the agreed upon amount if he does not reach a certain dollar amount. It is a terrible experience now in which he can't see what or where he is signing anymore nor can he here you. He is usually heavily guarded from each location usually riding a hoverround, but sometimes he walks. I don't think he is enjoying himself at this point and only doing these signings because others rely on him to make their income. I love the man and think he should retire to enjoy the remaining days with his daughter, but probably he won't. What I will warn people is that his signature is the most common signature in the world now based on he many things he signs at a show and the cost still does not deter the line. Lee probably has over 500,000 signatures in the market place and may have over 1,000,000 signatures out there.

Lights went out for Michael Jeter on this day 15 years ago, aged 50.

The gift....keeps giving.......

Babiuch's death is COMPLETELY FAKE! It is a fucking Chinese troll who vandalizes oldest living state leaders pages putting fake date of death periodically. On 4 March he was on fire. What a dick.

With Bill Maynard's death, Peter Shilton is the only living #50 name from a DeathList.

A tip: Deadpools need rules. Otherwise it's literally just writing down a couple of names that are on your mind.

Wow what a bitch.

Ok I get it. I didn't know she acted like an asshole.

Amazingly Gazza is the most likeable out of that shower of shit family, his ex-wife is a fucking dog that was happy to keep the famous surname to make cash out of her sob stories, ditto stepdaughter. Whoever thought a fucking mental alcy would be the upstandingist member of the family?

He was the Africa chap from months ago. Belgian IP, though a different part of Belgium from his previous accounts, and the FUCK KIRK DOUGLAS DIE BITCH posts removed any doubts.

Strangely no mention of Peppa Pig's resemblance to a cock and ball sac.
