Crew tests, pay ranges, Earth photos
The crew has been busy with everything from testing how loud the toilet gets to practicing CPR in zero gravity.
Fun fact: US astronauts earn between $90,000 and $150,000 a year (no extra hazard pay for space!), while Canadian crew members make between $97,000 and $190,000 depending on experience.
Plus, Reid Wiseman has been snapping some stunning photos of Earth — including one showing glowing polar auroras over the Atlantic — giving us all a fresh look at our planet from space.
