100 Ways to Die in Space – # 11 Getting left behind

Welcome to 100 Ways to Die in Space

Hi there bloggies, welcome to a new and fun little feature – 100 ways to die in space. Taking inspiration from a million ways to die in the west I’ll be taking a somewhat tongue in cheek at the many and various ways that space is somewhat unkind to the average human being and it pretty effective at killing them very quickly. Step aboard and see what happens, just don’t come on wearing a red top!

Method 11 – Getting left behind

Space exploration is just like any other journey you go there, to wherever it is and come back home. The thing is you need to make sure you bring everything back you’re meant to – especially people. After all it’s not like you can go back to get them, at the moment space travel is not really like that for us. If you get left behind that it, you’re a gonner. One of either three things will finish you – lack of air, food or water. So make sure you get back.

The thing is with getting left behind is hard to pinpoint where the blame lies. If the pilot has a serious counting deficiency then the cock womble crown rests firmly on their head. But what about if the poor soul left behind is the cockwomble? Practical jokes, being a arsehole and farting could all be contributing factors in this.
Living close to someone can lead to extreme acts.

Getting left behind is a huge issue for space travel, fuel and speed trajectories mean that even if you wanted to go back there would be no way of doing this. The only hope for the poor soul left behind is that he slips into unconsciousness from carbon dioxide exposure… Or hope that aliens carry out rescue missions.

That’s not a lot of hope – so it’s best to make sure that if you’re out there. You’re not left behind!

Jupiter and Saturn – autumn planets

On Tueday Jupiter was at opposition, this means that the Sun, Earth and Jupiter are all in a line and it’s the closest that Jupiter gets to us this year. It also happened to be the closest Jupiter will be for a long time, so I was keen to get out and see what images …

Dear Mr Alien… Division

Dear Mr Alien, I do have to ask for your help here, you’ve probably done all of this and know what we’ve got to do but why do we humans make it so difficult for ourselves? Can you tell us where we’re going wrong? We humans as a race are divided like this and in …

A Galaxy of Stars

A few weeks ago the sky was clearer than I’ve seen it for a long time and after seeing the success of someone else taking a picture with my same camrea I thought I would try the same settings and give it a go. The big variable with taking astrophotography pictures is the quality of …

Astro Pics – 2 Planets and a Cluster

The nights over the last few weeks have been quite clear over England with the weather being unseasonably dry. This always offers some wonderful night time views of the sky and I knew it was coming up to the time where Saturn and Jupiter were in the sky. Then last week I say that yellowy …
