astronaut selfies: chris hadfield, andré kuipers, karen l. nyberg, leland melvin, kevin ford, leroy chiao, clayton anderson, and don pettit . apparently there was a time when astronauts were feted as national heroes and celebrities. when and why, excatly, did this stop? i suppose chris hadfield is pretty famous now. but he’s not an astronaut anymore. anyways, i’m tagging this celebrity. ball’s in your court, celebrity tag editors.

it’s worth noting that the bubbles act as a lense, reversing and inverting the image. it’s also worth noting that both andre and clayton are seen through an air bubble within the water blob. here are two videos by don pettit aboard the ISS playing/experimenting with a water bubble in micro gravity, which are as much fun to listen to as to watch.
