I would LOVE to see these views first hand. But alas, with the markets going down the tubes not only will I not be able to retire (any time soon), but it looks like I will not be able to afford space tourism when it comes.

Turn your speakers on if you have them. This does require the "flash" player.

Enjoy.

Interesting but it holds no fasination for me what-so-ever. Makes you wonder why I joined the Air Force doesn't it? At least you know why they didn't make me a pilot.

 

This is awesome, thanks for sharing

 

Worth watching.

 

Even though I have no desire to do space travel, I think those photos are incredible!

Thanks for the link, Matt

 

There was a point in time when I would have gone in a heartbeat.
now .... ah not so much.

 

Awesome...and I would go in a heartbeat

 

Earth is a pretty planet, for sure. Thanks for the link, Matt.

 

That was excellent! Thanks for a brief detour from the Wall Street meltdown. I am thankful that we live on such a marvelous planet. Space exploration is definitely joint endeavor.

 

I am always in awe of photos like these. There is a lot to learn - just look at how much the first world attempts to turn night into day!!!! Thanks
