:snake: Un des nids de câbles qu’il a fallu démêler pour mettre à jour tout le réseau de la Station la semaine dernière. Un peu comme changer sa box sur Terre…. mais avec des centaines et centaines de gros câbles à gérer et des centaines de connexions à faire… ! Une tâche qui, dans un bel élan d’optimisme, devait à l’origine se boucler en quelques heures. Au final Mark et moi on y a passé quasiment toute la journée ! On s’en souviendra… Le fil vert sur le bouton vert, le fil rouge sur le bouton rouge... #CableManagement

Mark and myself worked on upgrading the entire Space Station network last week. It sounds like we just swapped a new internet box? Not really… it was a very labour-intensive task that took all day, with hundreds of meters of unwieldy cables, and hundreds of connections to make. And no pressure: if you don’t reconnect all of them properly, the Station won’t work… :wink:

Ce cercle presque parfait à la base du Mont Taranaki :ok_hand: :nz: Terre du Milieu pour les uns, terre de :rugby_football: pour les autres (dont moi !) : bienvenue en Nouvelle-Zélande. Parmi ses paysages magnifiques, des :volcano: enneigés et une péninsule ont particulièrement attiré l'objectif de mon appareil… J’imagine qu’ils ont fait une apparition dans le Seigneur des anneaux ou la saga du Hobbit.

Mount Taranaki is hard to miss, with its (almost) perfectly circular base. Even pushy clouds like these ones can't obscure the view. New Zealand, land of elves, dwarves and orcs if you are fan of Lord of the Rings, land of an exceptionally good rugby team for me. From below as in space it has breathtaking scenery and amazing landscapes. That explains all the films shot there, but not the rugby... :thinking_face: At the centre of an almost perfectly circular area of forest, Mount Taranaki is unmissable from above, and this week's Vendredi Volcan.
