Plunging Over Niagara Falls In A Burning Barrel. And More.
Oct 02, 2011 07:14:33 AM | Ron Garan
-
- About two weeks before my return to Earth, I had a videoconference from the International Space Station with astronaut Scott Kelly who told me about his experience plunging over Niagara Falls in a burning barrel six months before. He was actually describing what his own ride home from the ISS on a Soyuz spacecraft was like. Now that I’ve taken the same trip, I can tell you that it was as advertised, and more.

- So here I am about to return to Earth after five and a half months in space. I'm getting excited about again experiencing all those things that define life on Earth. At the same time, however, I’m realizing that I will leave behind all those things that define life in space.

Borders From Space

-
- On the evening of August 17, 2011, I “flew” to the Cupola of the International Space Station to shoot some photographs. Before beginning the sequence, I took some practice shots to verify camera settings. As I was about to delete them, something caught my eye. In one of the pictures, a very obvious illuminated line snaked across a large landmass for hundreds of miles.
