Did you know that NASA loves New Zealand? I didn’t either until my keen software developer eye noticed some recurring background features in their images of the International Space Station.

Yep, that’s right. In both the above images that little patch of green in background is New Zealand.  You’d have to say that the odds of the same country showing up twice in IIS images is fairly unlikely. Having the same part of that country appear, with the IIS in the same orientation is just amazing! :)

I realize I’m digging pretty deep here, but this is as close as New Zealand is ever going to get to being part of the space program…
