It’s a beautiful world! (Watch space video)

Watch along with Expedition 38 crew members Mike Hopkins and Rick Mastracchio as they look at various cities across the globe from the vantage point of the Cupola on-board the International Space Station

Newsroom September 14 03:35

A playful video shows Expedition 38 astronauts Mike Hopkins and Rick Mastracchio identifying different world cities as they look onto them from the International Space Station. The video tour states that Italy looks like a ‘boot’ and mentions that his great grandparents are from there. Seeing Greece, they focus on the “excellent food”.  Over the U.S. they recognize their home states and cities. “I just talked to my wife at home 15 minutes ago. She said the weather’s beautiful down there,” one of them says as they pass over Houston.
