You didn't miss much, gelu. I read Speaker for the Dead and Xenocide and one of them was okay; the other wasn't worth the time (it's been a while and I don't remember which I liked), so I stopped there. I've been reading Brandon Sanderson in what little spare time I've had the past year. Have you read any of his? I had an uncle trying to get me to read Mistborn for the longest time. I finally caved and am glad I did. Sorry I'm off-topic, mods. If PM were more reliable I'd use that.

It's always great to see what a lack of gravity can do for photography. it makes me optimistic about the future of our hobby.

Also, love enders game.

Unfortunately i stopped reading the others after learning more about Card's political and personal belief's.

That place is incredible. Every time I watch a video taken there I'm reminded of Ender's Game (I don't know if we have any sci fi/fantasy fans out there).

My favorite part of that video is the velcro straps across everyone's pants on the thigh. Imagine all the photo gear you could strap on there, not to mention a laptop, a cell phone, etc. No more digging through pockets/bags to get things. Oh, and probably no more people that want to be around the nerd with all the gear hanging off his pants, either. Sign me up!

It's nice to see from the inside just how massive the space station really is.

I don't get it- how come Nikon can't use the NASA space agency to advertise its equipment?

That sounds like a great reason to buy Nikon!

By the way, that was an amazing video. Thanks for sharing.

In space no one can hear you scream or your shutter going off!

Check out the cameras and lenses around 2:45 in this video (actually the whole video is worth watching):
