NASA astronaut films lightning from ISS

Astronaut Reid Wiseman posted a Vine from the International Space Station today showing lightning over Houston.

Tornado warnings were issued in the Houston area earlier this afternoon but have since expired.

With the days rapidly dwindling until New Horizons makes humanity’s first reconnaissance of Pluto, a stunning new video was released showing the mission’s planetary predecessors.

Paying homage to over 50 years of planetary exploration, the National Space Society’s video shows the groundbreaking missions which opened up the solar system to all of us back here on Earth.

Through the Pioneer, Mariner, and Voyager missions, the worlds of the solar system were no longer mysterious to scientists and astronomers on Earth. The years of the planet’s first reconnaissance and spacecraft are shown in a fitting tribute to New Horizon’s foundations.

Now, 53 years after our initial visits to other worlds, our exploration of the solar system’s major celestial bodies draws to a close. We’ve spent half a century broadening our cosmic horizons; what new horizons will be found at, and beyond, Pluto?

space im emotional

Why isn’t anybody on my dash, like, super pumped about the Orion launch this morning? This ship is built to go farther than any manned ship ever built before. This is the ship that takes humans to deep space. This is the ship that takes humans to Mars. It had its test launch this morning and its kind of a big deal because this is the ship that’s gonna bring in a new era of space travel. Welcome to the Mars age.

Nothing is illegal in space

Seriously my favorite picture of all time

rule no. 1: always reblog

kaijuno

yes light a blunt in space because an open flame in a 100% oxygen environment is a totally great idea and nothing could ever go wrong

korolevcross

Pretty sure they aren’t 100% oxygen anymore singe Apollo 1.

kaijuno

I’m pretty sure it has to be because if it was 20% oxygen and 80% nitrogen like it is on Earth they wouldn’t be able to breathe because it’s not pressurized as much. At least thats how they do it with space suits. I’m not sure if they pressurize the shuttles enough for it to be the 20/80 comp.

From this STS-112 Q&A session:

Ted from Chapel Hill
What is the composition and pressure of the atmosphere inside the space station?

Well the pressure is just the same as here on the ground, 14.7 psi. And the composition is just the same as air. We have, inside the air revitalization systems, what they call a major constituent analyzer that looks at the composition of the air, and then we have the capability to adjust it to make sure it stays just as same as it is here on the ground. Nitrogen, oxygen and all the other stuff.

Okay yeah here’s a chart I found as well on the MIT site
