Gleaming under the powerful sheen of the sun, our lovely blue planet earth smiled back at Russian cosmonauts working on the International Space Station, or ISS, floating just 220 miles above our home, or about the same distance as driving from Washington DC to New York. The Russian Federal Space Agency, called Roscosmos, released GoPro footage of cosmonauts Gennadi Padalka and Mikhail Kornienko from August showing the most stunning images from their five hour spacewalk performing routine checks and maintenance on the ISS.
