The International Space Station just orbited above Hurricane Milton as it is re-intensifying over the southern Gulf of Mexico.
Spectacular view from space.
We flew over Hurricane Milton about 90 minutes ago. Here is the view out the Dragon Endeavour window. Expect lots of images from this window as this is where Iโm sleeping while we wait to undock and return to Earth.
Timelapse coming in a separate post.
