Go Discovery! It was October 23, 2007 at 11:40am EST when I had my first ride to space on
 Discovery. She's beautiful... just sad that this will be her last voyage. Looking forward to
climbing aboard the flight deck when Discovery arrives at the Space Station in November.
                  (9-23-2010). Space Photo: NASA, Astronaut Wheelock
'Earthshine'... The Space Station basking in blue Earthshine as the rising sun pierces our razor-
 thin atmosphere to cover the Space Station with blue light. I’ll never forget this place…seeing
                    this makes the heart soar and the soul sing (11-7-2010).

Isle Juan de Nova in the Mozambique Channel between Madagascar and the African mainland.
           The beautiful colors rival the amazing places in the Caribbea (11-15-2010).
Aurora Borealis in the distance on this beautiful night over Europe. The Strait of Dover is pretty
clear as is Paris, the City of Lights. A little fog over the western part of England and London. It is
 incredible to see the lights of the cities and small towns against the backdrop of deep space. I
                    am going to miss this view of our wonderful world..(11-8-10).
“Fly me to the Moon…let me dance among the Stars…” I hope we never lose our sense of
wonder. A passion for exploration and discovery is a noble legacy to leave to our children. I
hope we set our sails and venture out one day. That will be one glorious day… (8-22-2010).
                        Space Photo: NASA, Astronaut Wheelock
Of all the places on our glorious planet, few rival the brilliant colors of The Bahamas. Here is a
view of our Progress-37 re-supply spacecraft, with the islands of The Bahamas as a backdrop.
         What a wonderful world (8-22-2010)! Space Photo: NASA, Astronaut Wheelock
Traveling at 17,500 miles per hour (5 miles per second)…we orbit the Earth
    every 90 minutes, with a sunrise or sunset every 45 minutes. So half of our
space walk is in complete darkness. The helmet lights are essential at the work sight.
                   Here I am getting the bail drive lever ready for
  my arch nemesis…the ‘M3 Ammonia Connector’. The dance begins (8-14-2010).
Every moment I get to look out the window at our beautiful planet, my soul just sings!!...”I see
        skies of blue…and clouds of white…the bright blessed day…” (6-29-2010).
Another breathtaking sunset…we get 16 of these each day in Earth orbit, each one a treasured
moment. That beautiful thin blue line is what makes our home so special in the cosmos. Space is
    cool…but, the Earth is a raging explosion of life in a vast sea of darkness (6-21-2010).
Beautiful atoll in the South Pacific through a 400mm lens. About 1200 miles south of Honolulu .
  In the ‘Line Islands’ along ‘Christmas Ridge’, either ‘Teraina’ or ‘Tabuaeran’? (11-15-2010).
Beautiful reflection of sunlight on the eastern Mediterranean Sea. No borders or conflict visible
           from space…just breath-taking beauty like this view of the island of Cyprus.
Out over the central Atlantic, just before another spectacular sunset, with the spiral bands of
Hurricane Earl visible in the setting sun. An interesting view of the life-giving energy of our sun.
The solar arrays on the port side of the Space Station as well as Hurricane Earl…both gathering
                 the last bit of energy before they fall into eclipse (8-30-2010).
Just a little further to the east, we spotted sacred and majestic 'Uluru'. You may recognize it by
 its more popular name of 'Ayers Rock'. I have never had the opportunity to visit Australia, but
 one glorious day, I hope to be standing amazed beside this natural wonder. Can't wait to read
         your thoughts of 'Uluru' (10-26-2010). Space Photo: NASA, Astronaut Wheelock
Morning breaking over the majestic Andes in South America . I really am not sure of the name of
  this mountain…just was in awe of its majesty, reaching into the windswept heights and the
     rising sun. Another day... another chance to stand tall and be counted (10-30-2010).
Over the Sahara Desert approaching ancient lands and thousands of years of history. The Nile
River flowing through Egypt past the pyramids of Giza up to Cairo in the delta; the Red Sea, Sinai
 Peninsula, Dead Sea; Jordan River; and the Sea of Galilee are visible, as are the island of Cyprus
           in the Mediterranean Sea and Greece coming over the horizon (9-6-2010).
A night view of the Nile River winding up through the Egyptian desert toward the
    Mediterranean Sea, and Cairo in the river delta. Such a stark contrast between the dark
desolate lifeless desert of northern Africa and the Nile River teeming with life along its shores. In
    the distance... the eastern Mediterranean on a beautiful autumn evening (1-31-2010).
Our ‘Progress 39P’ unmanned resupply spaceship on final approach for docking this past
 Sunday. It was laden with food, fuel, spare parts, and much needed supplies for our orbiting
 outpost. The greatest gift was just inside the hatch…some bags of fresh fruit and vegetables.
Such a wonderful treat after 3 months of eating out of tubes and plastic pouches (9-15-2010)!
Wanted to share this view out of the Cupola. We said farewell to our teammates Sasha, Misha
and Tracy this weekend and they are safely back on planet Earth. Tracy in quiet reflection of an
 incredible journey…homeward bound…(9-26-2010). Space Photo: NASA, Astronaut Wheelock
Soyuz 23S, “Olympus” docked to the nadir side of the Space Station. This will be our ride back
home to planet Earth when our work is complete here. Thought I would tweet this view out of
 the Cupola, as we were passing over the majestic snow-capped Caucuses. The sun rising and
     reflecting off the Caspian Sea (9-26-2010). Space Photo: NASA, Astronaut Wheelock
An explosion of color, motion, and life painted on the canvas of our wonderful world. This is a
section of the Great Barrier Reef off the eastern coast of Australia, captured through a 1200mm
    lens. I think even the great Impressionists would be awestruck with this natural display.
                      (8-22-2010). Space Photo: NASA, Astronaut Wheelock
The beauty of Italy, on a clear summer night, stretching out into the Mediterranean Sea. You
can see many of the beautiful islands lit up and adorning the coastline including Capri, Sicily, and
Malta. The city of Naples and Mt. Vesuvius stand out along the coast. Viva Esperia (8-22-2010)!
At the southern end of South America lies the jewel of Patagonia. The awe-inspiring beauty of
rugged mountains, massive glaciers, fjords, and the open sea collide in a breathtaking display. I
 have dreams of this place and wonder what it would be like to breathe this air. Pure majesty
                    (8-28-2010)! Space Photo: NASA, Astronaut Wheelock
The ‘Cupola’, attached to the nadir side of the Space Station, gives a panoramic view of our
    beautiful planet. Fyodor took this picture from the window of the Russian Docking
 Compartment (Airlock). Here I am in the Cupola preparing a camera for our late evening
           Hurricane Earl flyover…trying to capture the moment…(8-31-2010).
The Isles of Greece during a clear night pass over Europe. Athens shining brightly along the
Mediterranean Sea. A very surreal feeling to view the splendor of this ancient land from outer
                 space (9-4-2010). Space Photo: NASA, Astronaut Wheelock
The Florida peninsula and the southeastern U.S. on the kind of evening that I miss most about
our planet. A clear autumn night with moonlight over the water and the sky filled with a billion
                  stars (11-2-2010). Space Photo: NASA, Astronaut Wheelock
A clear starry night over the eastern end of the Mediterranean Sea . Ancient lands with
 thousands of years of history stretching from Athens, Greece all the way around the Med to
Cairo, Egypt. Storied lands, fabled cities, and alluring islands... Athens - Crete - Rhodes - Izmir -
Ankara - Cyprus - Damascus - Beirut - Haifa - Amman - Tel Aviv - Jerusalem - Cairo are beacons
   on this cool November night. Grace and Peace from the sanctity of space... (11-7-2010).
It is the season for viewing Polar Mesospheric Clouds, and with our high beta-angle we were
           able to capture this thin layer of noctilucent clouds at sunset (6-25-2010).
Shannon, me, and Fyodor
all suited up in our Sokol
(Russian word for
'Falcon') pressure suits in
the Russian MRM-1
module. We strapped
into our Soyuz capsule
'Olympus' to conduct
pressurization and leak
checks on our suits. All
systems 'go'... the
countdown to landing
has begun. Leave a light
on for us... we’ll be home
soon... (11-20-2010).

A ride thru_space

  • 1. • Show by Willard Coffer. • Pictures by NASA, Astronaut Douglas H. Wheelock. • The Narration for each slide is by Astronaut Wheelock and each slide is dated. • There is Music, so turn your sound on! • Please manually click thru the slides as some read faster than others .. Enjoy !!
  • 2. Go Discovery! It was October 23, 2007 at 11:40am EST when I had my first ride to space on Discovery. She's beautiful... just sad that this will be her last voyage. Looking forward to climbing aboard the flight deck when Discovery arrives at the Space Station in November. (9-23-2010). Space Photo: NASA, Astronaut Wheelock
  • 3. 'Earthshine'... The Space Station basking in blue Earthshine as the rising sun pierces our razor- thin atmosphere to cover the Space Station with blue light. I’ll never forget this place…seeing this makes the heart soar and the soul sing (11-7-2010).
  • 4. NASA astronaut Douglas H. Wheelock (NASA). Photo: NASA
  • 5. Isle Juan de Nova in the Mozambique Channel between Madagascar and the African mainland. The beautiful colors rival the amazing places in the Caribbea (11-15-2010).
  • 6. Aurora Borealis in the distance on this beautiful night over Europe. The Strait of Dover is pretty clear as is Paris, the City of Lights. A little fog over the western part of England and London. It is incredible to see the lights of the cities and small towns against the backdrop of deep space. I am going to miss this view of our wonderful world..(11-8-10).
  • 7. “Fly me to the Moon…let me dance among the Stars…” I hope we never lose our sense of wonder. A passion for exploration and discovery is a noble legacy to leave to our children. I hope we set our sails and venture out one day. That will be one glorious day… (8-22-2010). Space Photo: NASA, Astronaut Wheelock
  • 8. Of all the places on our glorious planet, few rival the brilliant colors of The Bahamas. Here is a view of our Progress-37 re-supply spacecraft, with the islands of The Bahamas as a backdrop. What a wonderful world (8-22-2010)! Space Photo: NASA, Astronaut Wheelock
  • 9. Traveling at 17,500 miles per hour (5 miles per second)…we orbit the Earth every 90 minutes, with a sunrise or sunset every 45 minutes. So half of our space walk is in complete darkness. The helmet lights are essential at the work sight. Here I am getting the bail drive lever ready for my arch nemesis…the ‘M3 Ammonia Connector’. The dance begins (8-14-2010).
  • 10. Every moment I get to look out the window at our beautiful planet, my soul just sings!!...”I see skies of blue…and clouds of white…the bright blessed day…” (6-29-2010).
  • 11. Another breathtaking sunset…we get 16 of these each day in Earth orbit, each one a treasured moment. That beautiful thin blue line is what makes our home so special in the cosmos. Space is cool…but, the Earth is a raging explosion of life in a vast sea of darkness (6-21-2010).
  • 12. Beautiful atoll in the South Pacific through a 400mm lens. About 1200 miles south of Honolulu . In the ‘Line Islands’ along ‘Christmas Ridge’, either ‘Teraina’ or ‘Tabuaeran’? (11-15-2010).
  • 13. Beautiful reflection of sunlight on the eastern Mediterranean Sea. No borders or conflict visible from space…just breath-taking beauty like this view of the island of Cyprus.
  • 14. Out over the central Atlantic, just before another spectacular sunset, with the spiral bands of Hurricane Earl visible in the setting sun. An interesting view of the life-giving energy of our sun. The solar arrays on the port side of the Space Station as well as Hurricane Earl…both gathering the last bit of energy before they fall into eclipse (8-30-2010).
  • 15. Just a little further to the east, we spotted sacred and majestic 'Uluru'. You may recognize it by its more popular name of 'Ayers Rock'. I have never had the opportunity to visit Australia, but one glorious day, I hope to be standing amazed beside this natural wonder. Can't wait to read your thoughts of 'Uluru' (10-26-2010).

  • 16. Morning breaking over the majestic Andes in South America . I really am not sure of the name of this mountain…just was in awe of its majesty, reaching into the windswept heights and the rising sun. Another day... another chance to stand tall and be counted (10-30-2010).
  • 17. Over the Sahara Desert approaching ancient lands and thousands of years of history. The Nile River flowing through Egypt past the pyramids of Giza up to Cairo in the delta; the Red Sea, Sinai Peninsula, Dead Sea; Jordan River; and the Sea of Galilee are visible, as are the island of Cyprus in the Mediterranean Sea and Greece coming over the horizon (9-6-2010).
  • 18. A night view of the Nile River winding up through the Egyptian desert toward the Mediterranean Sea, and Cairo in the river delta. Such a stark contrast between the dark desolate lifeless desert of northern Africa and the Nile River teeming with life along its shores. In the distance... the eastern Mediterranean on a beautiful autumn evening (1-31-2010).
  • 19. Our ‘Progress 39P’ unmanned resupply spaceship on final approach for docking this past Sunday. It was laden with food, fuel, spare parts, and much needed supplies for our orbiting outpost. The greatest gift was just inside the hatch…some bags of fresh fruit and vegetables. Such a wonderful treat after 3 months of eating out of tubes and plastic pouches (9-15-2010)!
  • 20. Wanted to share this view out of the Cupola. We said farewell to our teammates Sasha, Misha and Tracy this weekend and they are safely back on planet Earth. Tracy in quiet reflection of an incredible journey…homeward bound…(9-26-2010). Space Photo: NASA, Astronaut Wheelock
  • 21. Soyuz 23S, “Olympus” docked to the nadir side of the Space Station. This will be our ride back home to planet Earth when our work is complete here. Thought I would tweet this view out of the Cupola, as we were passing over the majestic snow-capped Caucuses. The sun rising and reflecting off the Caspian Sea (9-26-2010).

  • 22. An explosion of color, motion, and life painted on the canvas of our wonderful world. This is a section of the Great Barrier Reef off the eastern coast of Australia, captured through a 1200mm lens. I think even the great Impressionists would be awestruck with this natural display.

  • 23. The beauty of Italy, on a clear summer night, stretching out into the Mediterranean Sea. You can see many of the beautiful islands lit up and adorning the coastline including Capri, Sicily, and Malta. The city of Naples and Mt. Vesuvius stand out along the coast. Viva Esperia (8-22-2010)!
  • 24. At the southern end of South America lies the jewel of Patagonia. The awe-inspiring beauty of rugged mountains, massive glaciers, fjords, and the open sea collide in a breathtaking display. I have dreams of this place and wonder what it would be like to breathe this air. Pure majesty (8-28-2010)! Space Photo: NASA, Astronaut Wheelock
  • 25. The ‘Cupola’, attached to the nadir side of the Space Station, gives a panoramic view of our beautiful planet. Fyodor took this picture from the window of the Russian Docking Compartment (Airlock). Here I am in the Cupola preparing a camera for our late evening Hurricane Earl flyover…trying to capture the moment…(8-31-2010).
  • 26. The Isles of Greece during a clear night pass over Europe. Athens shining brightly along the Mediterranean Sea. A very surreal feeling to view the splendor of this ancient land from outer space (9-4-2010). Space Photo: NASA, Astronaut Wheelock
  • 27. The Florida peninsula and the southeastern U.S. on the kind of evening that I miss most about our planet. A clear autumn night with moonlight over the water and the sky filled with a billion stars (11-2-2010). Space Photo: NASA, Astronaut Wheelock
  • 28. A clear starry night over the eastern end of the Mediterranean Sea . Ancient lands with thousands of years of history stretching from Athens, Greece all the way around the Med to Cairo, Egypt. Storied lands, fabled cities, and alluring islands... Athens - Crete - Rhodes - Izmir - Ankara - Cyprus - Damascus - Beirut - Haifa - Amman - Tel Aviv - Jerusalem - Cairo are beacons on this cool November night. Grace and Peace from the sanctity of space... (11-7-2010).
  • 29. It is the season for viewing Polar Mesospheric Clouds, and with our high beta-angle we were able to capture this thin layer of noctilucent clouds at sunset (6-25-2010).
  • 30. Shannon, me, and Fyodor all suited up in our Sokol (Russian word for 'Falcon') pressure suits in the Russian MRM-1 module. We strapped into our Soyuz capsule 'Olympus' to conduct pressurization and leak checks on our suits. All systems 'go'... the countdown to landing has begun. Leave a light on for us... we’ll be home soon... (11-20-2010). Space Photo: NASA, Astronaut Wheelock
