The Starman falls to earth. Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield, whose David Bowie cover captured the imagination of Earthlings yesterday, landed safely Tuesday on the steppes of Kazakhstan.

The humanoid form of Robonaut is a little spooky onboard, at times.
With deference to the genius of David Bowie, here’s Space Oddity, recorded on Station. A last glimpse of the World.
Huge thanks in the making of the video to the talented trio of Emm Gryner, Joe Corcoran and Andrew Tidby, plus Evan Hadfield and all at the CSA.
I’m not being hyperbolic in any way whatsoever when I say this might be the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen.

You thought I was kidding, but I was not kidding.
Stunningly gorgeous (and perfectly chosen) gift from byronic: Space Race by Tom Clohosy Cole, an illustrated fold-out history of the US and USSR’s cold war race to outer space. My photos don’t do the colors justice. Now to figure out how to hang it, because it is far too beautiful to stay folded up on a shelf.

“ONE SMALL DISH FOR MAN”
This funny short film “Un petit plat pour l’homme”, about cooking in space came to us via email. This is France-based film student, Corentin Charron aka Onectin’s third year’s short-film, from Supinfocom Arles.
- Assigned topic: “The Kitchen”
- Used softwares: 3ds Max 2012 (scanline only), After Effect, Premiere and Photoshop
Neils Amstrong could be translated “Un petit pas pour l’homme” and the title of the film is “Un petit plat pour l’homme” (phoneticly near) that can be translated as “One small dish for man” .
You should watch this. It’s funny, well done, and under 2 minutes. Plus ASTRONAUTS.

A Short Film About a Lonely Robot, Created Entirely From NASA Videos
It’s 2045, and a lone robot orbits Earth in a spaceship, left there by his human companions. He longs for his home on Earth, but knows he’ll never see it again. Tragic, huh? This is the story of Robbie, a sentient Catholic robot, and the subject of the short film Robbie from director Neil Harvey.
