Beautiful timelapse from the ISS - SpacePod 2010.09.14

Expedition 6 Astronaut Don Pettit took some stunning timelapse imagery ;during his time on the International Space Station. This is a compilation of those videos as seen on YouTube, put to some music. Enjoy the beauty, and here's hoping some day we all get to experience this in person!

Its time to build a newer and larger space station. I want it to be so big that instead of going from door to door. A space shuttle 180 feet long can dock inside the station. Build it around the moon. So we can have a station that orbits the moon at around 17,500 miles per hour. It can launch mini space shuttles or similar landers that were used in the late 60s and early 70s up to date models of course.

Which can be used to build the first Moon base. The base should hold 30 scientists.

@LordHannigan It would be great indeed, but who would pay for it? You? The taxpayers seem to feel they already pay NASA too much. Also, you can't orbit the moon at 17,500 mph. You'd end up in a solar orbit at that distance and speed from earth.

Say, what's that funny shaped object in the sky at 2:14 below left of center?

@seeingUFOsPA Luna. Note that the ISS is in a fixed attitude, relative to Earth.

The song is called 'Dramatic Intro' from 'Soundroll-music'

@spacedcast. I am not sure how you figured that if we orbit the moon at 17,500 miles an hour we will fall into an earth orbit,this is not true. It is far too fast to orbit the moon but as we move away from earth velocity decreases to remain in orbit. Lower orbit requires higher speeds

@spacevidcast Thats what is so sad, that we cant do something so big and so amazing because we live our lives around money, It got us this far but need to be ended. We need to be free, and come together as an earth.

I wish there was a camera on the ISS live-streaming 1080p video of the earth 24-7 that we could all watch.
