NASA astronaut took picture of CVG and Cincinnati from space

A shot of the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport from space is circulating on Twitter after a NASA astronaut used the picture to give the airport a shoutout. 

Astronaut Shane Kimbrough is currently in space as Commander of the NASA SpaceX Crew-2 mission to the International Space Station. 

The mission launched in April 2021 and will return sometime in the fall. 

Kimbrough tweeted "Hello to the Cincinnati tri-state area! I snapped a clear shot of the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport from space! It’s currently the 7th busiest airport in the U.S. by cargo traffic and is additionally the fastest-growing cargo airport in North America." 

Many people excitedly remarked on how amazing the shot was and pointed to other Cincinnati landmarks they could view from the pictures. 

Some said they could see their house, and others said they could see part of the Brent Spence Bridge and the new TQL Stadium. 

Cincinnati-based Procter & Gamble also reacted to Kimbrough's tweet, writing, "Hey Shane! How's it going up there? We'll be up there soon to help with your fast-growing laundry pile!"

P&G's brand Tide has an agreement with NASA allowing it to send detergent and stain removal experiments to the space station by the end of 2021.
