Same shot, with the visor up.

JSSJeepin · 2012-11-04T19:17:41+00:00

I find it interesting that every real shot of space I've seen, there are no stars visible due to the sunlight. That must be real isolating to only see the sun and earth and nothing else.

The sun wasn't supposed to be in the shot, it's photobombing him

buttluvin · 2012-11-04T20:27:53+00:00

the scuff marks on the visor give it a sense of reality huh?

TheDerpofYork · 2012-11-04T20:31:46+00:00

Probably a stupid question, but why can't we see stars in this picture?

He's properly doing a duckface underneath the helm

Cyanrev · 2012-11-04T20:55:18+00:00

I notice that his 'head'-lights are on. You'd think the sun would provide sufficient light up there?

plantfan7 · 2012-11-04T22:26:26+00:00

This is astronaut Akihiko Hoshide, the subject and taker of this picture.

Edit he is doing what is called an EVA (extravehicular activity)

muttle · 2012-11-04T22:27:04+00:00

the ultimate selfie

CrabbyMcFartLice · 2012-11-04T22:27:18+00:00

So for anyone wondering about the deets this is Aki Hoshide during his second spacewalk, on September 5th of this year. Easily identifiable because the Japanese flag on his left shoulder (the patch on the right shoulder is the modern 'EVA' patch, EVA stands for Extra Vehicular Activity, means a spacewalk). If there's someone from Japan in space, odds are it's him. I think he's the only astronaut from Japan who's been active on the ISS in the past like, five years. I know there's what-was-his-name who was on the ISS in the 2000s, but he hasn't straddled a Soyuz to the ISS, I don't think ever. However Soichi Noguchi (googled his ass) took the cooler ride to the ISS, which was the Space Shuttle. For ya all who live under a rock, the Shuttle program was retired last year.

Hoshide has been on the last three spacewalks on the ISS, along with Sunita Williams, and those have been his first three spacewalks, too. It's pretty impressive that he's racked up over 20 hours of EVA time since late August. There are only five astro/cosmonauts who have more than 50 hours of accumulated spacewalk time, and in three months he's cranked out almost 21 and a half hours doing thoroughly critical EVAs on the ISS. Clearly, NASA, JAXA, Roscosmos, and everyone else involved with the ISS put a lot of faith him and his ability to get the job done. So mad props to you, Aki Hoshide, you're totally tits at fixing shit in space.

Podumas · 2012-11-04T22:29:30+00:00

Ckydder · 2012-11-04T22:39:08+00:00

That's one hell of a selfie...

Minerva89 · 2012-11-04T22:39:35+00:00

In the reflection you can see another astronaut who's probably thinking: "Damn it, Bob, stop fuckin' around and help me repair the damn station."

wow the space behind the astronaut really does look like an empty void of nothing, where are all the stars you see on regular space photos?
