When quizzed about their favourite pass time  Jeff Williams said, "All the different seasons and stuff that goes by, the different lighting conditions and weather patterns, and all the geography and geology and the ocean currents, and thunderstorms, seeing lightning ripple across a weather system  that's a lot of fun," he said. "So we spend a lot of time in the window," he added.

The men in space also revealed how the food tastes different in space and how they love to play around with food. They also debunked the misconception of astronaut ice creams! Kopra exclaimed  "We know that the astronaut ice cream that you buy in the gift store, that powdery stuff - yeah, that's not real" .

When a follower on Facebook questioned Mark about the viability and benefit to people, he replied, “ It's just awesome. And once we can give people in space the power to share what they're doing, then we know everyone else will have that power soon too.”
