Here's a vid (http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap120305.html) from APOD (http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/) of the Earth at night from the ISS with load of aurora.

Very nice vid, I like the way you can see the atmosphere layers. Was looking for the UK but couldn't even make out the continents.

A ride to and on the ISS sound like epic fun GT40, thanks for the invite.
I may have to wait till they drop the ticket price by a few million :(
