Lorry@alisynthesis But now I am worried about the Pterodactyls eating mountain goats.
@Lorry This one really got me:
"This is the Armstrong limit - above this altitude your saliva and tears will boil if you don't have a pressure suit."
AAAACKKKKK!!!
But I was comforted by the elevator music, so all is well.
@alisynthesis I have just passed the VSS Unity at 89.5km - There's a pretty aurora up here to go with the #music.
@alisynthesis I wonder how many hours it will be before I get around to turning the music off.
@Lorry This website really has been a glorious addition to my day. <3
@alisynthesis Same, thank you for posting it!
Fixing the annoying dishwasher can wait.
@alisynthesis Aargh, now I am distracted by https://neal.fun/wonders-of-street-view/ -- It needs elevator-music though.
@Lorry yes! THIS is why tabs were invented!
Sam Wade@alisynthesis @burritojustice Holy crap. (And I'm still only at 24669m)
@alisynthesis @burritojustice God, that was good. Thank you.
Ergative Absolutive@alisynthesis Thank you so much for sharing. That was a terrific ride.
