International Space Station Tour

In her final days as Commander of the International Space Station, Sunita Williams of NASA recorded this extensive tour - its bit like an office farewell really, before her commute home - via the Soyuz Spacecraft.

International Space Station Time Lapse

One of my favourite things on Twitter is getting a tweet when the ISS is coming overhead (Follow Twisst here) and will be visible. Clever stuff. As it speeds across the sky, mostly unnoticed from people below - 'it's a bloody plane, you can't see satellites with the naked eye' etc etc I wonder what they can see below. Must be AMAZING - and watching this video, it clearly is.

Splendid International Space Station Footage Of Earth.

Watch this. I love a window seat on a plane, but just imagine looking down on the Earth from this height. Superb.

Ever Wondered What The Earth Looks Like From A Window On The International Space Station?

Wonder no more. It looks like this. I hope the astronauts get peanuts, miniature bottles of red wine and hot bread rolls with their window seats.
