Endeavor over LA
I absolutely love this photo of space shuttle Endeavor, low over an LA city street. Yep, even though it looks like an exquisite Simon Stålenhag painting of an alternative 1970s America, this is actually a real event.
Sunita Williams’ ISS tour
There are lots of tours of the ISS, but this one from astronaut Sunita Williams is the first I saw, and it’s still my favourite.
My favourite bits are:
- 5:35: astronauts feeling pleased about the variety of food they get to eat
- 11:32: descending into the observatory and casually seeing the Earth out the window
- 18:18: entering a room and seeing some other astronauts just chatting there in zero-G.
- 21:38: seeing the nightmarishly cramped conditions for exiting the Station in a capsule
- 23:59 fitting into the re-entry chair
