Views of Planet Earth — As Seen by NASA Astronauts in Space

While in orbit, NASA astronauts Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley captured stunning views of our home planet Earth.

The duo made history May 30 when they launched from American soil in a commercially built and operated American crew spacecraft to the International Space Station. Their mission and test flight is helping NASA certify SpaceX’s crew transportation system for regular flights carrying astronauts to and from the orbiting laboratory.

Lucky are those guys who work for NASA especially Astronauts. Its an honour.

I am reading through these comments and I see how so many people are inspired to join or be a part of NASA.
I wish you all the courage and PERSEVERANCE to REACH YOUR DREAM/SOON REALITY. I am counting on seeing on space television one day.

wow. Not everyone gets to see and visit space. I bet its like no other experience. I would just be blown away and in complete awe. I wanna go so bad!

Just love how well this video is put together to inspire us all. I love the planet and my hope is that I too can make a difference to preserve and keep things pure and beautiful

Study as hard as you can, and you will get there, believe in yourself, your dream, your goal, keep your passion high up at difficulties, keep faith and go on. One day you will join them. 👌👍🇳🇱
Would have loved to see Europe from that altitude, @msterdam by night must be awesome. Ahh well maybe at the next one when they read my comment😁🇳🇱.

Love these pics but why are they adding in particle effects over them? Looks a bit silly

Imagine Being In The ISS, And Knowing That There’s A Pandemic Going On Down There

I can't wait to join nasa anymore still 12 yrs old . My biggest dream ever to become great scientist of nasa.

[PilotWanderlust]

WOW, thanks for the share! Our HOME. So peaceful and fascinating from space...

[noluthandoshangase]

It's so funny how when i Google the image of planet earth there's a lot of satellites around it but when you guys took this video they were not there, do they disappear or something??

Have nasa ever zoomed into earth from the bottom and filmed airplanes landing upside down

[provoker]

I’m learning about space in class and I’ve never loved anything like it

[lionablaze]

my major right now (bachelor) is space studies with a concentration in astronomy. hopefully that's good enough to work with nasa one day.

When I’m older I will hopefully be an engineer at nasa and help find scientific evidence for esrth

It’s been almost a decade since one of the most legendary spacecrafts of all time, the Space Shuttle, retired. Keeping NASA from HTS launches, we relied on the Soyuz to put our guys in space. Not only was that a difficult system, but our communication with Russia was scattered. I’m so happy to see that Elon and the rest of the Space X team, has succeeded in one of their goals. Not only have they mastered landing the Falcon 9s for reuse, but they have successfully launched humans to space. Giving the United States, a viable HTS launch system. Crew-1 is coming up in September and the Demo-2 crew, will be returning home today. I wish for both Bob and Doug, a safe reentry! We will all be waiting for your safe return!

This was amazing ive always wanted to be an astronaut since i was five and this just makes me more its so amazing i wanna discover a new planet and do awsome things! Im 11 right now and im working hard to achieve my dream and ima keep trying no matter what people say i've had people say its impossible but all i do is tell them "thanks for the advice but i'd rather try than give up" so im never goving up and i will walk on the moon and i will become an astronaut one day.

I saw this happen in person from afar of course because NASA was closed to the public due to covid! Saw the rocket blast all the way into space, it was Amazing!

[League_Femboy]

Very nice, congrats from Scotland.

Only a few more years till I get my aerospace engineering degree and I hope I can become an astronaut
