If you ever imagined a scenario where you got to spend all of your time on the International Space Station looking out the window at Earth and trying to figure out all the cities you saw from hundreds of miles high in the sky, you apparently are not alone.

Overall, it’s a great geography lesson, especially if you didn’t realize exactly just how massive Lake Michigan is.
