Cairo and Alexandria, Egypt on the Mediterranean coast:





Sicily and the “boot” of Italy, with the Mediterranean Sea representing most of the visible water in the view and the Adriatic Sea to the right of center. Tunisia is partially visible at left. Part of a docked Russian spacecraft and other components of the ISS are in the foreground:





Northern Gulf coast, Mobile Bay and the city of Mobile, New Orleans and Houston:

That is pretty impressive, they need to get some HD cameras up there. Love to see a time lapse video of the earth rotating.


In fact they need to go back to the moon just to record some HD footage of the earth from the moons surface.

That old pic is really low quality

Just think, we're in those photos. Probably doing something completely inconsequental. Actually, whatever the f*ck you're doing, it's pretty inconsequental
