Hmmmm....whatever is it????
Well it's the Soyuz TMA-19M descent module..... of course!
That is.... Major Tim Peake's landing from space module.....I know..... how flipping blipping cool is that! Well actually it got quite hot on descent.... some 1500 degrees C..... can you imagine there were three astronauts inside this, how cosy!
Extra is the quite entrancing parachute that slowed the spacecraft down from 287km/h to 22km/h...and its canopy is the size of two tennis courts.
Wowser me towser..... you can see it at the Bradford Science Museum until the 19th Nov.....blimey eh!
More info here if you fancy knowing more :)
And just coz I love this ....and it's apt.... :)) Go
