This is how our beautiful Earth looked to astronauts onboard the International Space Station on August 19, 2011 as they traveled from just south of Alaska in the United States to La Paz, Bolivia at 17,500 miles per hour. Dr. Justin Wilkinson, a scientist with the Crew Earth Observations team at NASA's Johnson Space Center, tells us what we are seeing. The crew of Expedition 28 on the International Space Station took these images on August 19, 2011. The video was produced by the team at the Image Science and Analysis Laboratory, NASA-Johnson Space Center.

Learning his return to Earth from the International Space Station might be delayed for possibly up to two months, NASA astronaut Ron Garan sings the blues from the Soyuz spacecraft that will take him home. Eventually. It's all in good fun, so enjoy. (Note: Since Ron and the Expedition 28 crew made this video during some weekend downtime, return options were reviewed by NASA. He safely returned to Earth on September 16, 2011).
The members of the Expedition 28 in order of appearance: Mike Fossum, Satoshi Furukawa, Andrey Borisenko, Alexander (Sasha) Samokutyaev, Sergei Volkov and Ron Garan
This extraordinary view of our planet Earth offers a very brief sneak peek #FromSpace of an exciting project we're working on for Fragile Oasis.

With the sun rising outside their window, NASA astronauts Ron Garan and Mike Fossum reflect on their 100 shared days on the International Space Station as Expedition 28 crewmates. The video was shot with a webcam.
Just think about it… What if you were trapped under something heavy and the mouse was out of your reach? Scary, right? That's exactly why we have these keyboard shortcuts so you can still use Vimeo until the help arrives.
