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 12 – Drowning
This one is not a terribly pleasant way to go in space and there’s not much that anyone can find to make light of with it – especially as this has nearly happened. But regardless of this being sealed in airtight suit that protects you from the vacuum of space means that any liquids that leak into it (including the accidents) will not escape easily.
It’s assumed that no one among your shipmates is dumb enough to plug your suit into the hosepipe they use to water the flowers or something (they don’t do this in space). The other thing is that becasue liquid floats and doesn’t sink if this does happen then you can’t rely on gravity to make it fall to the bottom of the suit… basically it’s a bit of a code brown moment.
The fact of the matter is that in life in general and especially in space there’s something to bear in mind – anything that can go wrong at some point probably will go wrong. So blocked filters and jammed what-you-might-call-it’s are all going to happen and the result is thing like your suit filling up with water.
It’s a bit of a sod really. Just don’t go making holes in your suit – you’ll really be in the crapper then!

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?

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 … Continue reading A Galaxy of Stars
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 … Continue reading Astro Pics – 2 Planets and a Cluster

Hello there bloggies! I can’t believe we’re already 10 days into August and I’ve not posted for a few week. That’s a bit bad of me… Over here on this little island the ship is sinking with no one at the helm, or we would be sinking if it wasn’t quite so dry here, we’re … Continue reading Blog Orbit – Blog Date August 2022
