This one comes from a young reader named Luc who wants to know, what do you miss most from Earth? Again, you're up there for a long time. It's the simple things, I think, that you miss most and for me personally, I miss a shower. A nice, warm shower in the morning. If we could get that going up here, wow, that would be something really, really super. But for now that's the number one thing. I did see, I did see on a TV show a couple days ago, a family sat down and had a big pizza with a soda. And man, I was, at that point I was missing pizza a little bit more than the than the shower. But overall, that's where we are. We actually did get three pizza questions from readers, so they were right on the money there. From some of our, our photography fans who read Time. What cameras do you use and are there limitations on what cameras can be used in space? Can you just use an iPhone to take a picture up there? Well you could take an iPhone. But, of course, what we see out the window is so beautiful that we need something with a little bit more resolution. So we have a like professional, SLR cameras. Also duel lenses, if you want to take a picture of a typhoon or a hurricane, you need a wide angle lens. So and then if you want to take a picture of your hometown, you have this huge 800mm lens. That you can actually see houses, individual houses. And it's pretty amazing what you can do. And also, it's amazing to see what the cosmic radiation does. Like, eh, we really have to use up these cameras. Like they only last for half a year or a year, then the pixel damage through cosmic radiation is so big, that we actually bring up new ones. And I imagine the view of the nighttime sky or it's always the nighttime sky, of course, is radically different with no atmospheric interference. That is true, the stars do not twinkle up here. They just are pinpoints and they're so many of them, it's so beautiful. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"ISS Astronauts Answer Your Questions","description":"ISS Astronauts Answer Your Questions","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/yPdYueon/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2014-07-09T19:47:25.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/yPdYueon.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/video/yPdYueon/","duration":"PT1M56S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/video/yPdYueon/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}} ```
