Quest

It looks like the EVA went fine, today. So, the astronauts leaving ISS for an EVA, from Quest (next EVA) would be facing the Earth. I wonder if they are going to feel like falling (for a few seconds), but Atlantis should be in their field of vew also, or rather on the side. Meaning they won't see anything else but Earth! I believe that we haven't experienced all the potentialities of Low Earth Orbit yet, as far as the viewing experience is concerned, compared with an EVA during a Mars bound trip (where the astronaut will have nothing to see if his eyes catch any reflected light).
