Nasa astronaut shares stunning aerial pictures
Nasa astronaut Douglas Hurley has shared three beautiful aerial pictures of Cape Town, Pretoria and Johannesburg. He is orbiting space in Nasa’s international space station (ISS).
South Africans residing in these cities shared hilarious responses to the pictures.
Paul Rotherham wrote: “If you zoom in on Joburg you’ll see me waving.”
Another Johannesburg resident joked: “I can see my house on the bottom left corner there.”
Durban residents were disappointed their city wasn’t captured, and asked Hurley to share images when he flies over.
The ISS circles the earth every 90 minutes and travels at about 28,000km/h.
