It's awesome because it's real.

I came from chasing dreams to feel alone
There must be changes, miss to feel strong
I really need lifе to touch me

Earth is so beautiful. :)  It's just a shame that not everyone seems to notice that.

Here, have more pictures of earth, from a little bit further away.


In my world of sleepers, everything will be erased.
I'll be your religion, your only endless ideal.
Slowly we crawl in the dark.
Swallowed by the seductive night.

The Cupola is one of the best modules they could have put on the ISS. If you're in ORBIT the least you can do is install a nice window.

The most awesome video you'll see today.

It's awesome because a kitty is involved.

I seriously thought that photo was from some Alien movie!

She does bear some resemblance to Sigourney Weaver from that angle.

...you were looking at Earth? :p ;7
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

The kitten protected the kid from the gator!
