Astronaut Col. Chris Hadfield recently released a book of photographs that he captured while stationed on the International Space Station, the book is titled Around the World in 92 Minutes. In case you are wondering what the title means, that is how fast the ISS orbits the earth – fun fact: that is over 17,000 miles per hour, WOW!
