These Images Of Earth From Space Put Everything In Perspective.

These Images Of Earth From Space Put Everything In Perspective. February 28, 2018

It wasn’t too long ago when we reported on Scott Kelly, one of two astronauts aboard the International Space Station for an entire year, and his [liquid ping pong][1] footage. Today, we bring you some posts from his Instagram account that reveal an astronaut’s extraordinary out-of-this-world perspective. At 52 years old, Kelly has lived a fulfilling life not just in space but as an engineer and former U.S. Navy Captain. His identical twin brother, Mark Kelly, has also worked as an astronaut.

When Scott’s One-Year Mission ends, the two will be compared for any physiological differences between living on earth and living in space. So, what’s it *really* like living in space. In an interview, Kelly revealed that it’s difficult to fall asleep out there because you’re always floating, which makes it difficult to enter into a relaxing state. In order to combat insomnia, he does exactly what he does on Earth: watch TV or read. Luckily for the rest of us, he also takes these wonderful photos.
