. . . but tonight I caught a few minutes of Coronation Street.
I had to smile when a lad (Tyrone?) was banging on about how the moon landings were impossible because the astronauts couldn't survive the radiation travelling through the "Van Halen Belt".
I wonder how many viewers realised that it should have been the Van Allen Belt? Still, for Corrie to even mention it is, well, cosmic!

I'm more of an astronomy geek than a Corrie anorak . . . and I don't feel bad about it!
