The Old Lady’s new toy is an app that lets her view the live camera feed from the International Space Station (ISS).
Mostly the feed shows white clouds drifting over blue oceans. Such a view!
But The Old Lady was truly fascinated by real-time video of the recent departure of the crew Dragon from the ISS.
For two hours she watched the undocking and flyaround as the Dragon circled the ISS so astronaut Akihiko Hoshide could photograph all sides of the ISS. She could see the Draco thrusters as they fired! How exciting!
“You can crush your candy and aggravate birds,” chirped The Old Lady, “or you can witness science in action and learn new stuff. Your choice.”
LISTEN to The Old Lady!
