The Beautiful View From The International Space Station (Video)
October 10, 2019
Relaxing, but making my heart rate race at the same damn time! Epic visuals from miles above the Big Blue Marble. Just ran across this in my Facebook stream.
Shout to Cheryl for the share. She needs to do a vid like this for them CAKES though… she got ’em, warm and moist for YOU right now… Delicious red velvet cakes & cupcakes at The Red Velvet Rope.
She bakes. What’d y’all think I was talking about?
(Ohhhh. I forgot this is the ‘Nooner’ spot. Oh well, come back at 1. We got you… In the meantime, enjoy the view.)

Science/Technology: Astronauts Capture Super-High Def Images Of Seltzer Tablets Bubbling In A Drop Of Water In Space (Video)
November 12, 2015
Okay, this some ‘stoner’ looking stuff. Hahaaaa! That is NOT to say that it is not still cool as hell. Einstein’s theories aside, in space sometimes you have a lot of time. What to do…what to do with it… Got it! Why not let loose a sizable droplet of water on the International Space Station, inject it with small drops of liquid coloring, then dissolve an effervescent tablet (e.g. an Alka-Seltzer) in the floating ball of colorful water, and capture images of the action/reactions using a super-duper high-definition camera. And if you are really slick, you can tie it into the astronaut work you are supposed to be doing up there on the station.
The cameras are being evaluated for capturing science data and vehicle operations by engineers at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama.
See? They weren’t just playing plop-plop, fizz-fizz with dyed water up there. The astronauts were exploring water tension in microgravity. It’s science!

Challenges Of Getting To Mars: Curiosity’s 7 Minutes Of Terror (Video)
August 6, 2012
With the recent success of NASA landing the Curiousity Rover on Mars, we were reminded by Jose3030 of just what it took for NASA to make the mission a complete success. In the above video Team members at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory share the challenges of the Curiosity Mars rover’s final minutes to landing on the surface of Mars. Although there was no real physical terror for any person involved with this mission, the real terror would have been if it had failed considering over $2 Billion invested dollars was on the line with the project.
