I ran across this while surfing ine of those online documentary film sites:

[Space Station Tour](http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/space-station-tour/)

It’s a tour of the International Space Station. I am unsure who the guide is, but she does a good job of explaining what’s aboard, the equipment, the return vessels, and the challenges of living in space: sleeping quarters, washroom, and eating facilities.

Anyway, I found it interesting. Have a look.

The host is US astronaut [Sunita Williams](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunita_Williams), who was commander of the ISS about two years ago.

Wait, mission specialists can be Commanders now? When did that happen?

Thanks, **wolfstu**. As you can probably tell, I was wondering. She certainly did a good job with the tour.
