This is a visualization imagining the International Space Station orbiting earth at 10,000-feet instead of 254 miles. For reference, most commercial flights cruise between 33,000 and 42,000 feet, so this is comparatively low. AND FAST. Around 17,150MPH (37,600km/h) fast. It really zooms. It’s crazy to think the astronauts up there
This is a video captured by French astronaut Thomas Pesquet of the current crew aboard the International Space Station throwing a good old fashioned pizza party, where each space ranger got to customize their own personal pizza with toppings. Fun! And by fun I mean I would have been too
These are a couple beautiful timelapse videos released by the European Space Agency (ESA) of astronauts Thomas Pesquet and Shane Kimbrough spacewalking while installing new solar arrays on the International Space Station. Thank goodness neither one of them got hit by one of those rotating arrays and got booted out
