With a hat tip to Esquire for linking to it, NASA has put together an 18 minute tour of the International Space Station in UHD 4K. If you’ve got decent bandwidth and a good-sized screen to view it, it’s quite a trip, complete with music soundtrack. A fisheye lens gives a sharp view as you move from compartment to compartment. Every so often a caption appears to explain what you’re looking at, and a diagram of the station shows where you are.
I’ll make a guess that most people don’t realize how big the station is these days. You’ll have a better idea after seeing the video. How long could/would you stay up there? Astronaut Scott Kelly spent nearly a year up there. Here’s a collection of 50 photos he took while up there. The video tour of the station is below.
Enjoy — and remember Ad Astra Per Aspera.
