So here I am, watching my fellow countryman Major Tim Peake walk around the International Space Station, first Briton ever to do a spacewalk. All the time I'm trying to see if he's wearing a Speedmaster. Does that make me really, really sad?
On the plus side it wasn't his helmet that leaked and nobody drowned in space. At this point though I'd be asking to use the Russian space suits, they may be old and smell faintly like stale beer but you're not going to need a snorkel while on a space walk.
I think you may find vintage Cosmonaut space suits have a bit more of a whiff of discarded Vodka squeezies and old caviar tins to them
Always a odd bottle of vodka in the trash when I clear a Antonov aircraft. Two crew,s, one flies then has a few drinks. Last one all on board were wearing older Rolex subs...
Sorry to resurrect an old thread but bumped into Tim yesterday at a social event and spent some time chatting Space stuff. Lovely guy and real gentleman
Nah, not at all! It's pretty cool to connect with someone from your country in space. And wondering about the Speedmaster just shows your attention to detail – who knows, you might spot it one day!
