The dreams of nearly every little child have, at some point in time, involved going to space. Well, NASA has just released video of a 600 photo time-lapse of the International Space Station. You can now can see what it would be like to take your very own flight into our planet’s orbit and experience what the astronauts see.
The video’s description reads:
