Anyone watching this, live from the International Space Station? It's mesmerising! There's another hour of it yet - it shows the lives of the astronauts, answers questions and gives stunning views of the earth. Well worth a look.

Amazing footage, we've regularly watched the ISS pass overhead in the last year the grandkids were so excited to see it.
The footage of the UK was just so interesting.

I watched this short series and found it amazing and wonderful.
What a beautiful planet we live on.

It was heartening to see Americans, Japanese and Russians all working together and describing each other as dear friends who see the whole planet as their home. Very moving at times.

A fantastic, mesmerising programme. I too watch the ISS pass over (got a tracking app) and wish I could see what the astronauts see. I'm also a little in love with Cdr Chris Hadfield, who tweeted some awe-inspiring photos of our planet during his mission last year.
