Watching the Moon from Strasbourg!

I wonder what is must be like as an astronaut to be able to view the moon from orbit?  Dr Robert Thirsk in his lecture thisevening , 3000 orbits spoke about his 6 months on board the International Space Station.  He showed a great video of his time on expedition 20/21 on the ISS and spoke in detail about his experience. Dr Thirsk spent May to December 2009 on the ISS as the flight engineer.

My evening with fellow students consisted of the Thursday French speaking dinner mainly spent asking outreageous questions like Veux tu m'pouser?  (Will you marry me?) I did learn the phrase for could I have the water (Je voudrais de l'eau.)
