Col. Chris Hadfield of the Canadian Space Agency visited the Ontario Science Centre and spoke about some of the very human aspects of space travel. Thank you so much for the feature YouTube...minutes before this was recorded I said to Chris Hadfield that I wanted to put his video on the internet and make him famous...(a joke...since he is already famous). He is a terrific guy and a great Canadian scientist. And speaking of Canada...there will be a Canadian YouTube meetup on 888 at the Ontario Science Centre in Toronto. Check out the 888torontomeetup channel... : ) http://www.ontariosciencecentre.ca

This NASA produced film (4:25 min) describes the parts and functions of the International Space Station. It is an excellent movie for the Galaxy Explorers ISS Mission Plan.
Jupiter sounds (so strange!) NASA-Voyager recording
From an original CD: JUPITER NASA-VOYAGER SPACE SOUNDS (1990) BRAIN/MIND Research Fascinating recording of Jupiter sounds (electromagnetic "voices") by NASA-Voyager. The complex interactions of charged electromagnetic particles from the solar wind , planetary magnetosphere etc. create vibration "soundscapes". It sounds very interesting, even scary. Jupiter is mostly composed of hydrogen and helium. The entire planet is made of gas, with no solid surface under the atmosphere. The pressures and temperatures deep in Jupiter are so high that gases form a gradual transition into liquids which are gradually compressed into a metallic "plasma" in which the molecules have been stripped of their outer electrons. The winds of Jupiter are a thousand metres per second relative to the rotating interior. Jupiter's magnetic field is four thousand times stronger than Earth's, and is tipped by 11° degrees of axis spin. This causes the magnetic field to wobble, which has a profound effect on trapped electronically charged particles. This plasma of charged particles is accelerated beyond the magnetosphere of Jupiter to speeds of tens of thousands of kilometres per second. It is these magnetic particle vibrations which generate some of the sound you hear on this recording. Visit http://www.inner-net.com/bmr/bmrpg2aa.html for more sounds.

Atlantis' Acrobats: One backflip and a dock to ISS
Watch the shuttle perform a back flip in space as it approaches the International Space Station. At about 600 feet below the station, the shuttle flips bass ackwards, exposing its underside to the station. As the shuttle bellies up to the station, the station crew has about 9 minutes to snap up as many photos as it can. The digital snapshots are downlinked to Earth to check for chips and dings on the surface of the tiles, which act as the vehicle's heat shield. Tiles range in thickness from a quarter-inch to four-and-a-half inches thick. The space shuttle leading edges and the nose cone are made of reinforced carbon-carbon material capable of withstanding temperatures up to 3,600 degrees, now that's a hottie! The Shuttle Atlantis, which launched Feb. 7, 2007 and flipped upside down before docking to the station Feb. 9, has 24,000 thermal protection tiles.
