International Space Station Commander Dan Burbank captured spectacular imagery of Comet Lovejoy as seen from about 240 miles above the Earth's horizon on Wednesday, Dec. 21.

Today Burbank described seeing the comet two nights ago as "the most amazing thing I have ever seen in space," in an interview with WDIV-TV in Detroit. Last night he captured hundreds of still images of the comet.

This is clearly real, I'd like you to try and recreate this. Idiot.

To the contrary, we are very impressed with mankind's ability to deceive others through the medium of video.

LOL, looks like a Universal logo from the 80's. Love the dated looking flat stretched textures on the "earth" as well. This is very poor computer graphics.

I would ask that people please control themselves when commenting after wonderful videos like this. We know you're angry about something, but this is not the correct venue. I would elucidate, but why bother? Thanks.

I could go deep into this but, the general problem with what you are saying is that the system fosters population growth in so many ways that it boggles the mind. Poor people all over the world fuck like bunnies because they are too poor to do much else; Poor people all over the world have tonnes of kids for free labor; Poor people all over the world have tonnes of kids to take care of them when they get old or sick; Rich people have tonnes of kids to carry on their legacy...
