Von Nasa/Image of the day:

Expedition 26 Commander Scott Kelly wears a blue wrist band that has a peace symbol, a heart and the word 'Gabby' to show his support for his sister-in-law U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, as he rested onboard a Russian Search and Rescue helicopter shortly after he and fellow crew members Oleg Skripochka and Alexander Kaleri landed in their Soyuz TMA-01M capsule near the town of Arkalyk, Kazakhstan, on Wednesday, March 16, 2011. NASA Astronaut Kelly, Russian Cosmonauts Skripochka and Kaleri are returning from almost six months onboard the International Space Station where they served as members of the Expedition 25 and 26 crews.

[via BoingBoing]

"If we're going to explore beyond Earth, which I think is the real goal, we've got to know how to be self-sustaining. We've got to learn how to recycle everything — water, air, everything. The technologies that we're mastering with the space station right now, and the ones that we could put on a spaceship that leaves us for two to three years, are the same technologies that are going to help us protect Mother Earth.

And every astronaut, every cosmonaut, anyone that gets out there and looks back at the Earth just goes, "Wow." You see the Earth, and you want to put your arms around it and protect it. Here's this beautiful, living spaceship with billions of people on it, going through this great big, black void out there. We've got to take care of this little place. We're going to explore the solar system, and we may explore the universe someday, but there's going to be many, many generations that are going to live here on Earth. We need to take care of this planet. Anyone that's flown in space feels very strongly about that. And the technologies that we're mastering on the space station are going to help us take care of planet Earth." (Michael Coats, Pilot der ersten Discovery-Mission)

Gestern flog die Discovery zum letzten Mal ins All um Astronauten und Material zur Internationalen Raumstation zu befördern. Das zusammenfassende Video des Starts kann man sich hier ansehen.
