Donald Pettit Speaks at Luminance 2012
NASA astronaut Donald Pettit has called the International Space Station home for a total of 370 days. While there, he #39;s captured some of the most mind-blowing photos of space -- and Earth -- we #39;ve ever seen. Donald gives us an inside look into what it #39;s like to take photos of space, why bringing 10 DSLRs with him is actually necessary, and the reason why hard drives tend to fail in zero gravity.

Russian Cosmonauts Prepare For Next Mission
Translations below. The next crew due to head for the International Space Station (ISS) is undergoing final training sessions ahead of next month #39;s launch. Russian cosmonaut Roman Romanenko, Canadian and American astronauts Chris Hadfield and Thomas Marshburn are undergoing their training in Moscow region #39;s Star City. "The feeling that you are sitting in a space simulator doesn #39;t leave you until you feel the state of weightlessness with your own body. Only then you understand that this is it -- I #39;ve flown away and I #39;m very far from the Earth. And here I #39;ll spend half a year of my life, I #39;m in space. It #39;s a very strong feeling", recalls cosmonaut Roman Romanenko of his first flight. Previously, the crew underwent a preparation course at NASA on working with the American segment of the ISS. "I #39;ve been an astronaut for 20 years, I #39;ve been training for this flight for four years. I have to remember what everybody told me in Japan, in Europe, in Sevastopol, in the Black Sea, in Canada, in the United States, I have to remember everything all those people told me, what the technician told me on the boat in the Black Sea about how to operate my Sokol suit, I have to remember what he said three years later", says astronaut Chris Hadfield. Three cosmonauts currently working at the ISS are returning to Earth on November 19. Shotlist 1. Various of cosmonauts training in space simulator. 00:00 -- 01:09 2.
