Yes they have , the big difference from past missions is they are not on a course for lunar orbit. What they've done is to break the record for distance traveled based on planned flight path. Just like Apollo 13 they are set to do a big sling shot round the moon so are moving out to come back. They are on course to travel more than 270,000 miles. So will once they travel round the moon break Apollo 13's record (248,655 miles) . The difference this time it's planned and not due to an accident.
Pity they are not doing a close orbit. Images of a lunar rover abandoned on the surface will shut the sceptics up.
Drizzly morning. Shopping definite needs were bread for toasting, oranges and bananas.
3 packs of yellow label scones however were also acquired from M&S.
Morrisons was the rare visit for the fruit as they had postie deliver a leaflet on the week with a couple of vouchers on it. £5 off £25 being used.
Seem to have got rid of the hand scanners so added up mentally as I went round. As usual chilled goods beyond their use date on the shelf which deterred a purchase.
Total just exceeded the voucher valid price by 18p.
