Saturday 7th October
After a good night's sleep being very gently rocked in nice
sea air awoke to a calm sunny morning.
After breakfast attended the lecture by Dr Geoffrey
Hoffman. He a veteran of five Space
Shuttle flights. The lecture mainly
concentrated on the human aspects of space flight and what is was actually like
to be an astronaut and to be in space.
Illustrated with numerous photographs of space flight and notably the
views of planet earth from orbit.
Next to the Planetarium for the presentation showing aspects
of extreme weather on the other planets in the solar system.
Next to the talk by Charles Barclay of the Royal Astronomical
Society about demystifying the night sky.
Quite a lot of guidance for stargazing even if very little about
actually identifying the actual stars.
Grand Lobby
Enough education, this is supposed to be a holiday, time for
tea and scones.
Relaxing afternoon and then dinner in the buffet.
