To boldly go... - 25-11-2009
....where no Scout had gone before!
Captain Norwood and Captain Love led their Patrols to become astronauts this November. They started their weekend of space exploration by collecting
some space supplies (from Asda) and received a guest lecture from the quite mad
Prof. Malcolm Black.
The rest of the weekend they performed some more experiments, which included
making a teabag fly and exploding some diet coke before seeing some real
rockets being launched from the launch control site opposite the space station!
Despite the abysmal weather a great time was had by all, and to combat the
cold, young space cadet Commander Jack Blue, in a moment of inspiration devised
a song to raise the crew's spirits. It goes:
We are freezing, we are freezing,
Turn up heating, turn up heating,
FROZEN SNOTTERS, FROZEN SNOTTERS,
We'll use them as chop-sticks!
For their troubles Captains Norwood and Love, along with the rest of their space teams have earned the Astronautics badge.
Over and out!
