I would like to be sitting poolside under a dome in an orbiting hotel watching the Earth go by someday.

Someday.

I remember watching 2001:A Space Odyssey in 1968 as a 14 year old, and believing this could come true in ten or fifteen years. The next year, we landed on the moon.

Did you see the link posted the other day...you might like this. It’s the new live streaming cameras from the space station.

Gray Scenes = Switching to the next camera, or the communications downlink from the ISS in not available at the moment.”
