A 52 second rough cut of what we are working on from Space for Fragile Oasis. What do you think?

I'm blown away by this! I showed it to friends and family and they didn't believe it was real. Looks like a Hollywood production -- and yet, it's REAL!! Wow!

Really awesome video. From Belgium through Central Europe to the Black Sea, Crimean, Caspian Sea and further on to south-east Asia. Simply unique.

This is going to be the best one yet! Thank you so much for all that you do to share your experience of space with us, Ron. You and Fragile Oasis have been a true inspiration and have been very uplifting during a difficult time of mourning the loss of our Space Shuttle Program and a number of disasters recently on Earth. Your generous sharing of pictures, videos and information from space have given light to our days here. And what a joy to watch for you on a starry night and do the #ISSwave with all our Space Tweep friends around the world! No one has shared the space experience with us as much as you have and that has meant so much especially since the loss of our Shuttles. Life will not be the same without our space friend Ron up there on the ISS. We will really MISS you but I am glad you will be able to come back to your family and all the joys of our Fragile Oasis. I will pray for your safe return and pray for you always. Godspeed.

Marco, it's just a little sample of a much longer video from the images Ron took during his mission. There will be much more!
