Space Balls!I can't help it but get carried away by the ongoing space trip. Up there somewhere in the orbit of earth, there is a little space station called ISS, and it is pretty small you know if you compare it to our planet. And on that ship there is an even smaller dude, from Bromma outside of Stockholm called Christer Fuglesang, looking down on us all, every time he peaks out of a window or takes a walk (aka EVA). It's amazing!I can't help thinking of the lyrics to the David Bowie song ...
