Things I Never Thought I Would Hear at Work

I love these people. Before heading out to our various Thanksgiving holiday destinations Beth (month 1) pulled out a composition book with the title “Things I Never Thought I Would Hear at Work.” Once we were seated around her like attentive pre-schoolers, she read to us a collection of quotations and our job was to guess which of us was the quotation’s “author.” One of the funniest, that didn’t make it into the video, was Michelle (Month 4) complaining that Dan (month was expecting her to kill rats (in a computer game) while eating lunch and that he expected her to be having fun doing it. Gotta love working with such gifted crazies. jbb

Composite of a Series of Images Taken From Space Aboard the Station

This is a composite of a series of images photographed from a mounted camera on the Earth-orbiting International Space Station, from approximately 240 miles above Earth. Space station hardware in the foreground includes the Mini-Research Module (MRM1, center) and a Russian Progress vehicle docked to the Pirs Docking Compartment (right). Expedition 31 Flight Engineer Don Pettit said of the photographic techniques used to achieve the images: "My star trail images are made by taking a time exposure of about 10 to 15 minutes. However, with modern digital cameras, 30 seconds is about the longest exposure possible, due to electronic detector noise effectively snowing out the image. To achieve the longer exposures I do what many amateur astronomers do. I take multiple 30-second exposures, then 'stack' them using imaging software, thus producing the longer exposure." A total of 47 images photographed by the astronaut-monitored stationary camera were combined to create this composite. Image Credit: NASA
