Good luck to British astronaut Tim Peake on his unenviable journey back to Earth, via Soyuz capsule. This fifty year old design has served the russian space agency reliably for decades, but as one NASA astronaut described the trip as "going over Niagra Falls in a flaming barrel", I don't envy him one bit! Much as I have always wanted to journey into space, I think i'd prefer to wait for the Millenium Falcon to pull up in my front garden first!
