Ground Control to Major Tom
Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you....

"Here am I floating round my tin can
Far above the Moon
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do."

I had a boating accident in 1996..July 27 to be exact, where my boat was taking on water and rolled over and sank..and just before I abandoned ship, I thought to myself.."So this is how it all ends"..Alot of thoughts go through your head in a short time..You think of family..my daughter, my girlfriend at the time, and I really felt strongly that I wasnt ready to go, that I had so much more living to do..But this is a bit different than the question that this thread asks, in that, I had a chance for survival, whereas being stranded out in space is final..I would in that case probably go through alot of the same mental and emotional gymnastics, go through numerous scenarios in my mind..and then hopefully accept my fate, and hope its over soon
