This video is very cool. Take a look at it:
All Alone in the Night - Time-lapse footage of the Earth as seen from the ISS (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FG0fTKAqZ5g#ws)
Very cool, very cool indeed. Thank you.
If that doesn't put a catch in your throat, you're already dead.
Wow...
The thunderstorms and aurora are pretty cool. Too bad we're methodically de-funding our space program. A friend and I were discussing this trend once, and we both agreed that we would be more than willing to pay $200 a year along with other American citizens to see our space program keep moving forward in full glory (specifically, we were talking about the space shuttle).
NASA started building a maglev. It'd reduce the price to 5k per person. Instead of 10k per 2.2Lb.
