"he is literally the first blogger from outer space."
Greetings,
EARTHLINGS
Ed`s Musings from Space
While I`m gone, let me point you to Ed Lu`s blog - he is literally the first blogger from outer space.
While he's living aboard the International Space Station, Expedition 7 NASA ISS Science Officer Ed Lu is writing about his experiences. His letters are listed below, beginning with the most recent addition.
Watching the World Go By
One of my favorite things to do when I have time off is to just watch the world go by. Whenever I get a chance, I spend time just observing the planet below. It turns out you can see a lot more from up here than you might expect. First off, we aren't as far away as some people think - our orbit is only about 240 miles above the surface of the Earth. While this is high enough to see that the Earth is round (believe me, it is), we are still just barely skimming the surface when you consider that the diameter of the Earth is over 8000 miles.
