He was alright, but a bit confused. I just had to keep throwing a ball and a stick for him like he was a dog!

Haha! I'm sure he enjoyed it!

Eeep brain shock!
That was weird!

Eep. o.o

Everything ok?

Yeah I'm fine!
Just been a bit speedy and not sleeping much for the last few days and I think it's getting to my brain!

Ah good. Lack of sleep does catch up eventually.

It does indeed!
I'm limiting my caffeine intake but it doesn't seem to be helping much!

What about your general water intake? That seems to affect everything if you don't drink enough.

I don't drink water lol
It makes me feel sick and it tastes weird!
So it's either coffee, tea, caffeine free diet coke or squash!

Squash counts as water. =P

Yay!!! :-D
In that case I do drink water :p

Haha! But do you drink ENOUGH water? That's what I'm getting at, considering it's bloody boiling lately and you're not feeling 100%.

Probably not!
But I do drink enough coke :p

I drink lots of lemonade as I don't like water either.

More than enough coke, I think, Beckie. ;-)

I drink water at home and squash at work.

Fizzy drinks are too fizzy for me.

I weirdly like the taste of water... it's all pure and clean and light and nothing.

Definitely more than enough!! :tongue2:

Water just tastes like your mouth

It's not so much the taste, it's more the feeling of it. I can't describe it. =/

I can kind of get what you mean!
Kind of!

Water tastes too plain for my liking.

I like plain.

I can cope with flavoured water!
And sparkling water!
Maybe I'm just weird

Sparkling water tastes weird! But I like it.

We're all weird. =)

That is very true! :tongue2:

Is anyone watching the return of the Nasa/SpaceX astronauts later?

Nope! What time is it on?

Nasa TV on Youtube is on all the time. I think touchdown is about 7:30pm this evening.

I can't get YouTube on the TV at the moment because my fire stick has broken :(
But I could watch it on my phone!

That's annoying. I think it's only live on youtube unfortunately.

Should be exciting to watch though.

That's a shame

I accidentally crashed the spacecraft upon landing when doing the space simulator at space camp!
I messed up the sequence for the landing thing
In my defence, there were a hell of a lot of buttons!!!

Good job you're not in control now then, hmm? =P

There was a SpaceX docking simulator online when they launched. I don't think I ended up anywhere near the space station when I tried it! And then I lost patience.

It's a very good job!
this simulator was the one that real astronauts use
! It was very exciting!

Haha! Fair enough!

I think this one had the same controls that the astronauts use too. Very disappointed that I failed. =/

I'm still so jealous of your space camp!

Here you go:

We also did the next day where the teams switched over and I was in ground control. I didn't mess that one up :p

Yay thank you!

Ground control sounds fun. =P

I just failed! Got much closer than I did before though.

It was! Got the headset and everything! Not as fun as crashing a spacecraft though :tongue2:

I failed. Got so close a few times but then it all got out of control!

Hah, yeah crashing is more fun. =P

I think I did the same. Was doing alright and then decided to make some minor corrections which turned into major mistakes.

It is! :tongue2:

I just ended up spinning around! Lol!

Who said the ISS had to be the destination, hmm? XD

Exactly!
Surely random space is just as good!!!

Yep, I thought the whole mission statement was based on exploring the unknown. =)

Or maybe I'm thinking of Star Trek...

Star trek, real life, who even knows anymore.
This is 2020, anything could happen!!!

You are not wrong there.

I wish there was more Star Trek stuff happening instead of Armageddon stuff. =/

I never got into star trek but you are right! Anything better than this sh*t going on right now!

Yup. =/

I mean there's a lot of death and disaster and near misses in Star Trek but at least it's exciting and diverse and unpredictable and a bigger picture than most people can imagine.

Could always do with a bit more excitement and diversity in the world!!!

Completely agree.

It's silly really, isn't it, that aliens and stuff in a fictional show are perfectly acceptable but different races/skin colours IRL aren't ok. Gah! That's a debate for a different thread I think!

I much prefer classic Doctor Who to star trek.

When talking about the Human race vs general sci-fi, Star Trek, Doctor Who (classic or new) and Star Wars... it's all the same really.

AND classic Doctor Who and original Star Trek started at pretty much the same time. There's not much in it in terms of imagination and thinking beyond the possibilities of current reality.

I know! It's crazy!
