A town on the northwest coast of Africa. A road goes inland, and a road follows the sea. And from space that seems to be pretty much all I can make out.

Un des rares ports avant l’immensité du désert, dans le Sahara occidental. Deux routes fendent l’intérieur des terres, une autre longe l'océan, et c’est tout ☀

My own excuse to flex is the inverted “2” for “Crew2” ✌, but yours is not bad either :muscle::wink:

A view that brings back memories, the Soyuz that brought me to the Space Station in 2016 for #Proxima was docked to the exact same docking port. This one is Oleg's, Pyotr's and Mark's, flying over Cuba. You can also see a Russian Progress cargo spacecraft docked and blocking the view. A tell-tale sign to differentiate the two is that a Soyuz has a green "periscope" to look through during docking. A Progress carries no astronauts and is automated so there is no need for a periscope – as nobody will ever look through it :) The Soyuz docked with the Station now is named "Yuri Gagarin" (Ю́. А. Гага́рин) after the first person to enter Earth orbit, 60 years ago this year.

Une vue qui me rappelle des souvenirs : c’est en Soyouz et par ce port d’amarrage que je suis arrivé pour la première fois en 2016. Le Soyouz d’Oleg, Pëtr et Mark s’appelle “Youri Gagarine” et survole Cuba… comme un parfum d’années 60 règne dans ce cliché :cu:

Our Dragon is comfortably docked with the International Space Station. Did you know dragons hibernate? We leave it there for six months before waking it up to take us back home...

Notre Dragon est toujours confortablement niché à bord de l’ISS. Il est en hibernation pendant 6 mois en attendant le retour, réveillé de temps en temps pour l’ausculter… ce qui lui permet sans doute d’admirer le paysage qui défile sous ses ailes.
