Did you miss it? You can follow the space station crew, Terry and
Sam on Twitter as I do. Terry and Sam have tweeted gorgeous and
stunning pictures from the space station.
By the way, you can actually see the space station fly over your location by subscribing to Spot The Station. It is a beautiful sight, especially when you realize you are looking at a million pounds of space hardware and six humans 250 miles up traveling at 17,500 miles per hour!

From the Gan Anavim Kindergarten Class who has been studying the solar system and space exploration: How long does it take to train to be an astronaut? How beautiful are the galaxies? Did you see the Hubble Telescope? What color is outer space - just black or different colors? How long does it take to get to the ISS? Do eat M&Ms?
