Proving once and for all that the vaccine offers no hope. Somewhere in Paris, a tunnel feels neglected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxB Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 He was 99 years old. Mere months short of getting a postcard off his Wife. (nb: You get a postcard off the Queen if you live to 100 in the UK. Although obviously if any of us on here live to 100 we won't, because that's in like 54 years time and she's pretty old already). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 (edited) Woah, BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5 have wiped the planned scheduled programming for the Duke of Edinburgh's passing. Wall to wall coverage. Don't normally see them do that. Edited April 9, 2021 by The Natural Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolfan in NYC Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I'll hold my tongue about my feelings about the ol' Duke. (and the fact that I am holding my tongue better let you know how I feel) And if I have to, y'all do too. It's bad enough I just had to merge three different threads. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 So few Apollo astronauts left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert S Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 3 minutes ago, RIPPA said: So few Apollo astronauts left I just recently went over the list and wondered when the next human sets foot on the moon, if there will still be one of the Apollo veteran's left. Currently, there are 5 people alive, who have walked on the moon. I realize that there are plans for moon landings within the next couple of years (NASA plans a landing in October 2024, Russia and China have plans as well), but if those plans get shifted by a year or two, chances get bigger and bigger that none of those 85+ year-olds are still with us then.
