The International Space Station crew was able to celebrate New Year's 16 different times
The Week

At some point, the International Space Station crew must have run out of new targets for a stroke-of-midnight kiss.

In a prerecorded video, ISS Commander Barry "Butch" Wilmore and crew member Terry Virts explain the back-of-the-envelope math: Orbiting Earth at 17,500 miles per hour, the space station would have been directly over 16 separate 'midnights' as the planet's different time zones celebrated New Year's.

Happy New Year from the International Space Station


But before you crack wise about drunken astronauts hurtling around space after 16 champagne toasts, NASA was quick to point out that the ISS crew rang in 2015 with fruit juice.

* Random quote

If our society seems more nihilistic than that of previous eras, perhaps this is simply a sign of our maturity as a sentient species. As our collective consciousness expands beyond a crucial point, we are at last ready to accept life's fundamental truth: that life's only purpose is life itself.
~Chairman Sheng-ji Yang 'Looking God in the Eye'
