Title: Earth at Night View from ISS
Post by: rscaper1070 on October 06, 2012, 06:24:18 pm

Really cool video of the Earth at night as viewed from the ISS. I really like seeing all of the lightning storms.

I love watching the aurora from low earth orbit, it is so spectacular.  Lightning, too.  And sunrise/set.  And city lights, cloud formations, mountains, meteors, land, sea, ice, atmosphere, the black sky, my floating packet of M&Ms, spinning, spinning, barfing, I don't like space, too much space, I wanna go home!

OH YOU DON'T SAY! I'M SURE GLAD YOU CLEARED THAT UP. BEFORE READING YOUR POST I ACTUALLY BELIEVED THAT THE BP TEAM HIRED A FULL ORCHESTRA AND CHOIR TO RECORD CUSTOM MUSIC FOR THEM. I MEAN IT'S NOT LIKE THE DEVS HAVE SAID MANY TIMES THAT THEY GET THEIR MUSIC FROM OTHER SOURCES, AND IT'S NOT LIKE THE MUSIC IS CREDITED IN BP ITSELF, AND IT'S NOT LIKE THE YOUTUBE VIDEO DESCRIPTION GIVES THE REAL SOURCE OF THE SONG EITHER.
[/cruise control]

I just said that because seeing as BP is a well-liked mod around here, I thought people would associate the song with the mod and think it's cool to see it used in something else space related. I forgot that it's more important to prove people wrong around here than to enjoy anything. All posts must be factually correct. No joking is allowed ever.  :doubt:
