What does it feel like to fly over planet Earth?

A video showing what it feels like to fly over planet Earth.  Imagine this is what a mobile suit pilot sees as he flies over the Earth...

Perhaps when Char piloted his Zaku II above earth's orbit, that was when he thought of one of his famous quote, "I believe in the rebirth of a humanity that lives in space. However, in order to develop all of us into Newtypes someone has to shoulder all the evils of humanity." 
A time-lapse taken from the front of the International Space Station as it orbits our planet at night. This movie begins over the Pacific Ocean and continues over North and South America before entering daylight near Antarctica. Visible cities, countries and landmarks include (in order) Vancouver Island, Victoria, Vancouver, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles. Phoenix.
