Send a colleague into space?
"But all this
science - I don't understand, Its just
my job five days a week..."
(Rocket Man
B Taupin, E John)
Dr. Pat Collins, Mecmesin's Technical services manager, has
entered a competition to win a place on the space tourism company's
SPACEXC flight into space. Taking off from an extended runway like a
conventional aircraft, the lucky winner will be breaking the sound barrier in
60 seconds. The special craft climbs
rapidly to a altitude of 103 km, and by
following a parabolic flight-path will experience a short period of
weightlessness. During the return to
earth, there will be a rapid acceleration resulting in 10-20 second spent at
high "g" force. Well, Pat knows
all about force, but "Feeling the Force will be an entirely new
experience.
I think this would beat Pat's normal daily commute to the Mecmesin
group headquarters in Slinfold West Sussex where only the cost of petrol is
stratospheric.
Please help Pat by following this link and register a vote

Of course if Pat were to win the competition he would still
have to pass the physical.
"And I think its
gonna be a long, long time..."
