Video of the Day: Inside the International Space Station

Posted by Emily Farris
 

This video looking at life inside the International Space Station was made well before the station's toilet broke in May and wee particularly enjoyed the dining scene at the end.  

 

The two-and-a-half-minute video (set to “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” by the Tokens) shows the crew performing everyday tasks that look amazing in the weightlessness of space: shaving, getting ready for bed, throwing floating food, and putting the serious responsibility and danger of space exploration aside in favor of just having fun. It’s exhilarating, amusing, and more than a little bit awe-inspiring.
