Just think. . . In under 30 minutes it is going to be Monday again for those folks aboard.  :biggrin:

Yep.  You can sit there and watch and see sunrises and sunsets every 90 minutes.  ;D

If you go to full screen on the current view you'll see a very faint light at about 11-12 o'clock position, and tow smaller fainter lights at the 4-5 o'clock positions. They have been there each time the feed has been live in darkness, and they never move. I believe they may be a reflection of light either fro the inside of ISS or of sunlight off of it.

Also, you'll begin to see flashes of blues, greens, reds, and oranges on the cameras at it approaches the daylight terminator.  It's caused by electromagnetic radiation similar to the Aurora Borealis.

There are always between 550 and 700 viewers on line at any given moment thus far, and 68 million viewers cumulatively have been on the site.  :spooked:

Ran across an interesting website last night that shows live streaming video from four cameras aboard the International Space Station.  The cameras are part of the High Definition Earth Viewing Experiment being conducted aboard the ISS.  Ended up getting hooked on it and watched for almost a complete 90-minute orbit.  The link also has audio communications between the crew and the controllers at JSC in Houston.

The stream can be found here:

Very cool!  Particularly when the cameras work.   :wink:

Good luck with whatever is going on. :yes:
Thank you.  I need it. Have no one but myself to blame. Yesterday I was actually day dreaming about going back in time and changing a thing or two. :(  :rolleyes:

That just makes you human.  I don't think there's one of us who doesn't occasionally think about going back in time.  :wink:

As Locutus said above, this just makes you normal. Now me, I have a VERY long list of stuff I'd give anything to go back and change. It's astounding how time/experience and the "wisdom" that comes with age changes your mind on a thing or two. .   :yes:

Try telling that to a 20-year-old who thinks he knows everything.  :mad:
