When your an astronaut from Michigan you have to do a photo shout out from space, because I mean let’s be honest our state is pretty easy to pick out from space! Christina Koch a GR native is on a record breaking flight in space. She left in December and will be up there for 11 months which is the longest single spaceflight by a woman EVER!

She is currently residing at the International Space Station where she tweeted a photo saying the Great Lakes are as stunning from space as they are in person.
