Google street view of ISS now availableWant to take a tour of ISS, at your leisure. Google’s Street View now makes it possible.
The wide-camera lens makes the view somewhat claustrophobic, but it is still quite fun.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon or from any other book seller. If you want an autographed copy the price is $60 for the hardback and $45 for the paperback, plus $8 shipping for each. Go here for purchasing details. The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

How do they keep their apartment clean?
There have been three to six people there for 17 years now. And I have to put up an effort to even clean the cables under my “wireless” computer desk. And they must be grabbing things all the time to move around, not just “the floor”. I haven’t spotted any spots yet in this amazing illustration. I just don’t understand why.
LocalFluff, I believe these images are from an on-the-ground mockup of the ISS. That may be why there is less wear-and-tear on the equipment and the overall neatness of everything.
Actually, I guess I’m wrong. Gathering the images is described as below:
‘Instead, the Street View team worked with NASA at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas and Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama to design a gravity-free method of collecting the imagery using DSLR cameras and equipment already on the ISS,’ Pesquet said. ‘Then I collected still photos in space, that were then sent down to Earth where they were stitched together to create panoramic 360 degree imagery of the ISS.’
