Video is exposed for daytime on Earth, hence no stars.
Nowhere near close enough to scoop up clouds.
Didn’t know Pratt & Whitney made Dragon spacecraft.
Thx! Hanging in there. At least the fam is still in communication with me.
Yesterday the composite storm track took Hurricane Milton exactly over my house. Then the forecast track started shifting south. Now the center is forecast to pass about 20 miles south of me. My cell phone is going off constantly now with tornado warnings. This morning the rain was heavy enough that I could barely see across the lake I live on, about 3 miles across. Then the rain got heavy enough I could not see the island in the lake which is about 1/4 mile away. Right now the rain is so heavy I can’t see the beach about 25 yards from the window. Forecast is for 8-12 inches of rain.
Most cell phone towers have a three hour battery
They should continue to operate as long as they remain up, even if the power goes out.
Good to know, thx!
You’re no fun.
I suggest you stop getting your information from The Guardian.
How far away do you think the Space Station is?
The sun rises and sets for the Space Station just as much as it does on Earth. Stars can been seen at night not in the day. Just like down here.
