Peace and Cooperation in Orbit

"People have problems on Earth. On orbit we are one crew. I think ISS is a symbol of the friendship and cooperation, like symbol of the future exploration of space," Shkaplerov said as he handed over the keys.

What a shame that this unity between Russians and Americans in space no longer exists on Earth. Still, I found the farewell ceremony from the ISS quite moving, and I was also impressed by the amazing camera-work, a far cry from the grainy black & white images of my childhood. See this video clip.
