NASA is the target of some scary hacks and and digital espionage. But if someone out there has control codes to the International Space Station, it might be because the laptop of some NASA knucklehead was stolen, and it didn’t have any of the data encrypted.
Watch International Space Station astronaut Satoshi Furukawa building a Lego model of the International Space Station inside the International Space Station. I wonder if there’s a minifig version of the International Space Station astronaut Satoshi Furukawa building a Lego model of the Lego International Space Station inside the Lego International Space Station.
By now you’re probably used to all the spectacular night-time time lapses from the International Space Station. But this one demonstrates that the show is just as amazing during the day. Check out the moon seemingly sinking into the Earth’s atmosphere.
If you stack every single dollar bill in Apple’s $US97 billion cash reserves, you would reach 10594km into space. That’s about 32 times the altitude of the International Space Station. It would look pretty much like this.
It never fails. Every month or so, the astronauts at the International Space Station capture Earth in the most amazing, astonishing, rock-your-socks-off way imaginable. Every time it’s better than the previous one. This one is the current winner by far.
Have you ever wondered why there are so many amazing videos of Earth from orbit nowadays? The answer is simple: the amazing low-light performance of current DSLR cameras, like the Nikon D3 used by Expedition 29 Commander Mike Fossum.
When the Commander of the International Space Station says he just saw “the most amazing thing I have ever seen in space,” you know you’re in for something incredible. We’ve never seen a view of a comet like this.
I was joking when I said this looked like a washing machine being installed on the International Space Station. Now NASA is serious about it. You know, because astronauts stink.
OK — that last flyby video from the International Space Station was totally mesmerising. But, as if the new mission of the space station is to shock earthlings with amazing imagery, here’s one that’s even better. So. Much. Glowing.
