The stunning time lapse was taken from inside SpaceX's Crew Dragon capsule nicknamed Resilience, which will soon be joined by a second capsule on April 22 — a beautiful 15-second clip of a view of planet Earth that only a select few will ever be able to enjoy in person. https://twitter.com/Astro_illini/status/1381628373575864320 ## Hopping Docks Earlier this month, four of the ten ISS crew members squeezed inside Resilience to [take it for a ride]() around the space station to make room for the second Crew Dragon craft, dubbed Endeavour. Resilience moved to international docking adapter 3 (IDA-3), which [was installed]() on the zenith, or space-facing, port of the space station's Harmony module back in 2019. It's unclear whether the time lapse was taken from the space-facing IDA-3 port or the "forward"-facing IDA-2 port, Resilience's previous parking spot. Since arriving at the station on November 15 on board a Crew Dragon capsule — SpaceX's second crewed mission involving the spacecraft — Noguchi has taken the time to post numerous breathtaking views of planet Earth on his Twitter account. https://twitter.com/Astro_Soichi/status/1381273972592029697 **READ MORE:**[ 'Blown away': NASA astronaut awed by Crew Dragon time-lapse video]() \[*CNET*\] **More on the ISS:** *[NASA Considering Reality TV Show Filmed on Space Station]()* ## Author I've been at Futurism since 2017, where my role has evolved to encompass design, writing, and increasingly editing. I've always been fascinated by space exploration and advanced transportation, which I've leaned into by interviewing luminaries in those fields while closely following the dimensions of policy and regulation that allow next-generation projects to succeed -- or, sometimes, to fail. I'm also keenly interested in the effects of generative AI on society, policies, and democratic institutions, as well as clean energy, physics and biology, and the vagaries of tech leadership. My work for Futurism has been cited by publications including Ars Technica, Gizmodo, PC Magazine, Jalopnik, Fox News, and the New York Post. I spent my childhood living in locations including Manila, the Philippines, and Geneva, Switzerland, attended McGill University, and now live in Toronto, Canada. Before Futurism I worked at AskMen and a small photography studio. In my free time, I'm an avid gardener, foodie, and craft beer lover, as well as a maker of artisanal hot pepper sauces. I have a magnificent dog named Freida. ### Author social links [Bluesky]()
