We would like to say that you can't argue with photographic evidence but some people can and DO argue that the Earth is actually flat. If you're not a government clone of a celebrity (like Tila Tequila) or if you believe in science, you'll still love these amazing pictures of Earth from outer space.

In the latest update of random things being sent to the International Space Station, the six astronauts living in the International Space Station (ISS) have been sent a cookie oven (which must be a lot more exciting than that time when they were sent cement). For the first time, astronauts will be able to bake cookies in space. I'm betting the prospect of eating fresh cookies is pretty exciting for them after months of eating packaged space food.
Sometimes all you want in life is to take you cat everywhere with you. Luckily for us, it's actually possible. Not to mention cats become absolutely the cutest little astronauts ever!
Thinking about getting with this trend and having amazing adventures with your cat? Well, now you can because these amazing carriers are selling on Amazon and you can check it out Here!
It's safe to say that the astronauts chilling up on the International Space Station have a pretty good view. Possible the best view of Earth (ha ha). Astronaut Christina Koch had some time on her hands, and made an incredible time lapse photo of the Earth from an 11 minute video. It's definitely not a perspective you see every day, and it is absolutely beautiful.
In preparation for the 2024 Artemis mission, NASA just revealed the new spacesuits that male and female astronauts will wear. They look pretty cool, but the astronauts will still have to wear diapers while hopping around the moon.
In the past few decades, technology has allowed us to live a reality that seemed like magic not so long ago. Talking to people on the other side of the planet? Easy. Flying in the air? Done. Man on the moon? Pfft. We did that in the sixties. Since science is getting more confident, and maybe a little egotistical, scientists have thought up a new scheme that sounds quite fantastical to us (although I guess that's what people thought before the internet existed). Scientists want to build an elevator that goes to the moon. Who knows, at the rate of technological advancement today, maybe it isn't so crazy. Lets wait a few years and see what happens.
Astronaut Scott Kelly was brought safely home last night after spending nearly a year in space. He was primarily in space to study himself to learn about how human bodies change in space. He even has an identical twin who stayed back on Earth to compare results. But what else was he doing for so long up on the International Space Station? He actually kept a pretty good record on Twitter.

Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield recorded a cover of David Bowie's "Space Oddity" from space aboard the International Space Station- which is pretty much the coolest thing ever. But the video, which was recorded back in 2013, was only allowed to exist on YouTube for a year, according to an agreement with Bowie.
Fortunately, the two have worked things out and the video has now made it's way back online.
Hadfield described this situation in a post on his website, and included an explanation for recording it in the first place:
"It was a chance to let people see where we truly are in space exploration. We're not just probing what lies beyond Earth - we inhabit it."
Prior to its removal, the video had picked up more than 23 million views.

Astronaut Chris Hadfield who became famous for his hundreds of YouTube videos made from space, is now back home and has a "down to Earth" message about Movember.
