Title: The Earth From the International Space Station
Post by: Recusant on September 18, 2011, 07:07:43 PM
Time lapse of the ISS flying over Earth (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgjz8gyHlOk)

I enjoyed this 1 minute clip, and am posting it here for others to see.

I originally found it here (http://sugar.io/?p=775), and I think that version is a little better quality, but it took a long time to load on my computer, so I posted the youtube version to make it easier to see.

I keep going back and watching it, too. There's just something so incredibly cool about it.

'Sides, if Pudding was a flat Earth religious type, for whom you have to be on the upper side to hang onto the ground, he'd just fall off Australia, but because his blasphemous Atheist Earth is a big round magnet, he's still around!  :D Atheism. It saves lives.

that Mars rover is being driven by Jesuits! I love how he knows about the massacre of the tiny Martians...'God told me!'

Unffortunately for NASA and the Jesuits, the truth is out there, if you know where to look;
