Continuing where we left off yesterday, here we have a portion of the island of Newfoundland from space.
This is the mouth of the St. Lawrence River.
And here is Vancouver.
Astronauts aboard the International Space Station have a lot of work to do, but they need their downtime, and they get it.
This guitar is an example of another one custom made by a Canadian company and sent up to the ISS. The trick was to shrink the guitar down somewhat, while maintaining its musical sound.
Eating on the ISS poses its own challenges. There's much more variety than the days of the Apollo mission, but there's a lot that you can't take up there. Muffins, for instance, leave crumbs- not the sort of thing you want in a microgravity environment.
Here we have the suit of a Canadian astronaut, the sort of space suit used for exterior work on the ISS.
And Mission Control is always a call away.
There is no shortage of work to be done on the ISS.
