We know that Outer Space has zero gravity, but does it have a smell? Yesterday on the International Space Station, Samantha Cristoforetti got to find and she wishes she didn’t. You can tell by her face that it is utterly gross. Well that and she said “Not good!”. Now we know why they wear those Space Suits, it’s to protect them from the stench.
BTW why did the only female on the ISS get the honor? It’s like she has four older brothers, and they force their baby sister to do all the gross things. But then again, she’s the only one of them that could brag she knows what it smells like when she is finally back on Earth!
The astronauts on the International Space Station got a care package from Earth and included in it was some oranges. Terry W Virts and Sam Cristoforetti were so overjoyed about having some fresh fruit up there that they decided to show off their juggling skills. Something that appears to be so much easier to do when you living with zero gravity.
Ever wonder if they do Christmas in space? Well thanks to the Astronauts on the International Space Station, we know that they do. Terry W Virts, Anton Shkaplerov and Samantha Cristoforetti shared some photos of themselves enjoying the holiday and I think we need to expand that saying Peace on Earth to Peace in the Universe. Especially if people from America, Russia and Italy can celebrate it joyously together up in Outer Space, why can’t we do it here down on Earth?
Ever wonder how Astronauts maintain their hair in Space? Well Terry W Virts revealed how they get haircuts on the International Space Station. They get Flowbeed. So I wonder what came first, the Flowbee or whatever that thing is called that they are using on ISS? Either way, how cool is it to be let in on this secret that is literally out of this world.
The whole wide world is going crazy over football/soccer right now, and turns out the fandom has even reached outside of our world. That because the three astronauts stationed at the International Space Station are even going wild about the World Cup up there. So much so that ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst and NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman and Steve Swanson made this video honoring it over the weekend when they had some free time. If this video doesn’t bring a smile to your face, I don’t know what will.
Seriously, it’s shame we can’t have the Galaxy Cup instead of the World Cup because it looks so much more fun to play and watch in Outer Space. Imagine all the ways Beckham could bend it up there!
