    Space walks in 3D and other recent imagery from the ISS

    ESA astronaut André Kuipers’ stay on the International Space Station (ISS) started on 23 December 2011 and continues until 1 July 2012. Apart from his demanding tasks as 
Flight Engineer for Expeditions 30/31, André is providing us with amazing imagery of Earth and of life and work on the ISS. For the first time, digital 3D still photos have been taken of cosmonauts carrying out extravehicular activities in their spacesuits. This short clip collects a selection of 3D images footage taken with the Erasmus Recording Binocular (ERB-2) and some 3D stills from a Fuji W3 camera. Stereoscopic images are a unique tool for providing viewers with a sense of presence in the constrained and dense habitat in which the astronauts live.

    

Stereoscopic 3D glasses are required to properly enjoy the full 3D effect of this footage.

    FedEx Driver Walks on Glass

    That’s right… somehow Steve Spangler convinced the FedEx driver to take her shoes off and to walk in a tub of broken glass. Steve is always trying out some science experiment on the FedEx drivers who work our shipping and receiving center. They’ve test out our Bed of Nails, triggered soda geysers, walk on a big vat of cornstarch and water… but today was one of the best. If you listen closely, you can hear her final words… “The UPS guy wouldn’t do that!”
