What does the International Space Station crew think about the situation they face since the Progress cargo ship mishap? Astronaut Ron Garan wanted to do something light-hearted to let everyone know that "we are all in this together," so he and his crewmates created a video. Garan said "Despite the seriousness of the possibilities, and while we are all in this period of uncertainty, it doesn't mean we can't still have a little fun."
This video also provides an impromptu tour of the ISS and shows how
big
the space station is, as it takes fellow astronaut Mike Fossum
a long time
to find Garan.
It should be noted that they made this video before they got the news of the potential of having the ISS unmanned. "This would have serious implications, and we all hope that it does not come to that," Garan wrote on his
Fragil Oasis blog.
