NASA astronaut Mike Hopkins takes selfie to end all selfies
THIS has to be the selfie to end all selfies.
In fact it's so good, it's out of this world.
NASA astronaut Mike Hopkins, a flight engineer on NASA's Expedition 38, snapped himself during a space walk on Christmas Eve.
He was joined by NASA astronaut Rick Mastracchio, whose image reflects in Hopkins' helmet visor.
And as if that isn't impressive enough, the astronaut is photobombed - by EARTH!
The legendary space selfie was posted on NASA's website.
Admittedly, although Hopkins arms are stretched in the selfie position we can't be sure if he actually took the picture himself. But it sure looks like it.
The space walk was the second for the astronauts over a four-day period to change a degraded pump module on the outside of the Earth-orbiting Inteational Space Station.
The pump module controls the flow of ammonia through cooling loops and radiators outside the space station, and, combined with water-based cooling loops inside the station, removes excess heat into the vacuum of space.
