When you're hurtling through space at 17,100 miles an hour, you can be forgiven for not having time for a lengthy New Year's celebration at midnight. So why not do it over and over and over again?
That's what the astronauts and cosmonauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) will be doing. In a video posted today, NASA astronauts Barry Wilmore and Terry Virts wished those of us stuck in single time zones here on Earth a Happy New Year, saying they would be celebrating by flying over 16 separate midnight celebrations of the transition from 2014 into 2015.
