Cheers and Jeers: Thursday

From the GREAT STATE OF MAINE…

High Above Planet Cuckoo

A few of astronaut Scott Kelly's recent pics---including a first-ever event---from the International Space Station, where he's rapidly approaching the end of his year in space. Today is Day 300.

Jan. 12  “The Gobi Desert is said to be so long it would take the length of my mission to travel from end to end.”
Jan 18:  “Just spotted this massive iceberg in the southern Indian Ocean.”
Jan. 17:  “First ever flower---a zinnia---grown in space makes its debut!”
