Hey, are you following Commander Chris Hadfield's twitter feed from space? He's the Canadian astronaut who arrived at the International Space Station on December 21st and has been regularly tweeting messages and photos since then. In March, he'll take command of the Space Station as the leader of Expedition 35, the first time a Canadian has been in charge.
Anyway, Commander Hadfield has been tweeting these fabulous photos of various spots around the earth taken from his special vantage point on the Space Station, with special attention to Canadian sites. On January 3, he posted this shot of Edmonton! That's the North Saskatchewan River running through the city.
Looks cold, eh?

ReplyDeleteThat is really cool. I used to want to be an astronaut, but then I discovered I'm terrified of flying and I freak out in enclosed spaces. Probably not the best job choice for me. LOL
ReplyDeleteI'm so impressed. I know I am a horse and cart kinda girl, tee hee, but I think the twitter thing from space is aces. Now I have something else to obcess about....tweets from space. Love it.
ReplyDeleteYes, I've heard of him! Yay for Canada!

ReplyDeleteNever did learn what Twitter is all about. Heck, I just learned how to do Facebook...and only because I like their games.
