"Yeah, so I'm just gonna show you some of the views from the windows, no big deal..." *Freaking EARTH appears*

This gives a whole new meaning to the expression "I don't want to live on this planet any more"

It also makes th common saying "the sky's the limit" inaccurate. :)

you gotta give props to these guys. I get homesick when I'm at work only 10 mins away from home. Imagine how they feel out of earth !!

they are subject to gravity :) it's the thing keeps the station on it's orbit so it does not fly away. It's like they are in a freefall.. around the earth, constantly missing it because they fly forward so fast.

It looks like a PC animation... But i know it is not

Just watching this is fullscreen I actually felt a bit scared- like the shuttle was going to start crashing into the earth. How close can you get to the earth without being subject to gravity?

I wonder if they are just allowed to do whatever. Like if they get board they just put on a space suit and use a propulsion backpack to float around in space or something. What do they do up there, are they searching for new stars or something?

You should do a video on what games are like or just more videos!
