At a speed of 28,163 kilometers per hour (8 kilometers per second), we rotate the Earth's orbit,
making one revolution every 90 minutes, and watch sunsets and sunrises every 45 minutes.
So half of our journey is in darkness.
For the work we use lights on our helmets.

Every time I look out the window and see our beautiful planet, my soul sings!
I see blue skies, white clouds and bright blessed day.

Another spectacular sunset.
We see 16 such sunsets each day, and each of them is really valuable.

Beautiful atoll in the Pacific Ocean, photographed using 400mm lens.
Approximately 1930 km south of Honolulu.

Above the center of the Atlantic Ocean, before another stunning sunset.
