I was expecting the earth to be moving out of the windows, displaying what the ISS is passing over, albeit not real time.
I think that's possible - you can get current location of ISS and use that to grab images from Google, distort in the right way and display. Maybe a nice evenings project with my space-crazy 7 year old daughter..
Also, I thought the "Cupola" label you see when the page opens was highlighting a place called that on the ground below :)

- callumprentice 8y agoYep agreed about the livestream. I meant just an accurate projection onto the windows of existing Google Maps data based on the location of the ISS. Even if that weren't possible, there are some nice high resolution textures of the earth (Blue Marble??) that could perhaps be made to work.

- skilled 8y agoThanks for the links, this picture [1] stunned me a little. Have to say I am a little jealous of all the people who have managed to get that level of direct experience. 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oleg_Kononenko#/media/File:ISS-57_EVA_(b)_Oleg_Kononenko.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oleg_Kononenko#/media/File:ISS...
