Re: Space Exploration

Ashnod, this is one of the best threads I have seen in any forum/board for a long, long time. Your posts are greatly appreciated. You are awesome emot-biggrin


I just got a DVD documentary on the Hubble telescope, and it includes an image gallery of the images it's taken (some of them are in the last link you posted, actually). I'll rip them and post them here later.

Beautiful thread. I want to travel to space. emot-biggrin

You're welcome! I look forward to your Hubble images. As a fellow lover of space, I, too, long to go to the stars.

Nitpick alert: yes they do, but they're in freefall so it has no net effect. The station, everything in it, and the astronauts are all falling together at the same rate.

Wow, that was quite a long tour. emot-smile

I wasn't expecting it to be as cluttered as it was. Cramped, certainly, but the number of items that were attached with Velcro to panels or secured by rubber band was actually a bit startling.

I was pleased that we also got a glimpse inside the Soyuz spacecraft.

Thanks for finding this!

Re: Space Exploration

Outgoing International Space Station commander Chris Hadfield of Canada recorded David Bowie's Space Oddity in space.  He released it today just before he goes home.  The music was done Earthside, but the vocals were recorded on the ISS.  Dude has a voice on him!
