Up, up, and away!
One of my long-term goals for my time here at NASA is to work to get astronauts to be more specific about how they are flying around the International Space Station. Astronauts invariably refer to flying around ISS "Superman-style" but what is that supposed to mean. Is it the classic Christopher Reeve one-arm-outstretched flying? Flying arms-at-chest John-Byrne-style? Maybe early Golden Age single-leap bounding? Or possibly that thing he does whenever he visits Luthor where he sort of flies in a standing position? The public deserves to know!
