How one NASA image tells dozens of stories
interesting video, but many of his same examples were in this 2012 NASA video: https://youtu.be/Q3YYwIsMHzw
Also, not to detract it's usefulness (and cool factor), but many people seeing this photo think that's how the Earth actually looks at night - it isn't. That composite uses satellite data from Suomi NPP's VIIRS sensor, which can detect much dimmer light than the human eye, and part of the compositing process was to normalize brightness of individual pixels (so dim lights get brighter, and bright lights don't washout adjacent pixels). More details here:

Even some cool night-time videos from ISS (example: https://youtu.be/FG0fTKAqZ5g ) are made using still photos with long exposure time (1+ seconds) See FAQ.
This did lead me to a live webcam from ISS that I didn't know existed: https://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/ESRS/HDEV/

What A Rocket Launch Looks Like From Space
Breathtaking rocket launch, as seen from the ISS has been added as a related post - related requested by noims.
What A Rocket Launch Looks Like From Space
Nice additional info from APOTD:
The Russian Soyuz-FG rocket was launched in November 2018 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, carrying a Progress MS-10 (also 71P) module to bring needed supplies to the ISS. Highlights in the 90-second video (condensing about 15-minutes) include city lights and clouds visible on the Earth on the lower left, blue and gold bands of atmospheric airglow running diagonally across the center, and distant stars on the upper right that set behind the Earth. A lower stage can be seen falling back to Earth as the robotic supply ship fires its thrusters and begins to close on the ISS, a space laboratory that celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2018.

"The guys try durian(...)"
Someone brought one of those fucking things into our office once and the evacuation of the workspace and people's stomachs was epic. You can smell that shit all the way to the ISS and it's probably the reason aliens haven't invaded us yet. It's sorta like that movie 'Signs', only instead of making no fucking sense what-so-ever, the aliens show up, smell a durian, mutter "are you fucking kidding me?!" and then get back on their spaceship and fuck off to somewhere less malodorous. This is also what keeps Tacoma mostly vacated. Seriously, the reason WaDoT lowered the speed limit to 50 on the part of I-5 that has the misfortune of passing through Tacoma is that they hate everyone west of the Cascades and this is how they get back at us. Yeah, FUCK YOU -- Tacoma may stink, but Biden's still president!
Cunts, the whole fucking lot of 'em.

WE ARE NASA!
Come on NASA,
The shuttle and now the Orion spacecraft have been and are designed by congressmen and women for make work projects in their states.
The shuttle, although a marvel of engineering, was a death trap due to putting the most venerable structures down the stack.
ISS is a fantastic endeavour, but its low earth orbit and NASA has been struggling with a new direction for decades. The moon... no wait... asteroids... no wait... Mars... hold on... the moon.
Just PICK ONE, at least DOUBLE the funding to NASA and make whatever new project a national initiative. The American space industry can do unbelievable things when the proper foresight is put is place backed by money. (hay, maybe take some out of the military complex?!).
We will see if the Moon remains a target for NASA, maybe that will change when your current "leader" is removed... I am mean voted out of his "office".
Fra gile - It must be Italian mail
wow that joke went over your head higher than the ISS orbit.
Yeah.... "Italian mail"
Italians are known for putting up flags derived from the American flag and the words "Freedom" and "Liberty" on the wall.
That'd be good 'ol 'Merkin workers there. Hard at work. Probably friends of @bobknight33 (maybe his wife? That would explain some of his issues)

Why Do People Still Think The Earth Is Flat?
What I don't get is that these people cite YouTube videos as their source of proof that the earth is flat, yet, there are hundreds of videos from the ISS, stratospheric flights, etc that show the earth is round (obviously). Faaaack. It's hard to believe people can be that stupid.
Space Station Transit 2017 ECLIPSE, My Brain Stopped Working
Dude, that ISS went fast!! It is good thing they had high FPS!
I wonder if they noticed anything different with the farm animals.
The LA Speed Check
I was hoping the ISS or a shuttle crew was going to pop in... ha ha. But of course why would they be on public freq...
Ultra Spiritual Life - Flat Earth Theory
I'm not joking. I've gotten into heated debates on multiple occasions with people on Google+ who honestly believe there is no way the Earth is not flat. At first, I couldn't believe they weren't fucking with me, but they were SERIOUS. Terrifyingly so.
You go and look at their other posts, and there are whole communities filled with certifiably crazy people talking about some seriously demented theories. NASA photos from ISS are simulated; the round earth theory is a sophisticated psy-op meant to enslave our minds; the entire universe is flat, rotates around the Earth, and gravity is somehow a lie, and every photo and video showing a round Earth is a fake.
These people are breeding, dude. In 2016. I'm terrified.
I was hoping it was a troll-meme, because i've seen a prevalence of people believing this shit lately.
Ask them how a sundial works. It's one of those things that's simple to think about or even draw. Get them to tell you how the sun rises and sets, and then ask about sundials - and why do 2 sundials separated by a significant distance read how they do.
If you make them 1000 ft tall sundials, you can use the horizon line of sight argument on them too.
