NASA astronaut Victor Glover, one of the four astronauts aboard the SpaceX crew dragon capsule, posted a video on Twitter of the spectacular view from Earth on his first space trip.
“My first video from space! Looking at Earth through the Dragon Resilience window,” Glover said.
Twitter. “The scale of the detailed and sensory inputs made this an amazing perspective!”
The video shows Glover sitting next to a window, drenched in view from outer space. The astronaut, who was on pilot as a pilot and second-in-command on the dragon, said the scene was surprising but the video “doesn’t do it justice.”
NASA astronauts Michael Hopkins and Shannon Vakerkar and Japanese astronaut Sochi Noguchi are also members of the Crew-1 mission.
It marks the second crew flight of the SpaceX spacecraft.
Earlier this week, Glover also made a tweet
Photo His “new home”, where he will spend the coming months working from the International Space Station.
More than a dozen Black Americans have gone into space since Gione Blueford became the first to do so in 1983, while Glover is the first black full-time crew member on the ISS.
The spacecraft was launched into outer space from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida – marking the company’s years of hopes that NASA would keep the International Space Station fully staffed. The crew docked the dragon with the International Space Station on November 16.
Crew-1 astronauts are expected to spend about six months on the ISS, where they will work on various science experiments and spacecraft to continue updates and repairs to the outer part of the space station.
