THE HUMAN SPACEFLIGHT BLOG: From the Space Shuttle to Beyond

IMAGE OF THE DAY... Don’t know what’s cooler: Being able to see a space shuttle enter the atmosphere from Earth orbit, or watching a 'shooting star' from 220 miles above? Considering the fact that—up until the dawn of the Space Age—meteors have only been viewed from the ground by Neanderthals and then Homo sapiens for the past oh, hundreds of thousands of years, I choose the shooting star. This incredible photo was taken by astronaut Ron Garan onboard the International Space Station last Sunday.
