2. A NASA astronaut also took a selfie when going on a spacewalk. Mike Hopkins went out of the ISS to fix a problem with the coolant and took time to take a selfie with our planet Earth as the background. The selfie was taken 420 kilometers above sea level, right on the ISS orbital space. NASA didn’t have any problems with Hopkin’s selfie because NASA scheduled the fixing of the cooling systems of the ISS to be done in 7 hours but Hopkins and his partner Rick Mastracchio finished it ahead of schedule, allowing them some free time before having to go back into the station.

5. And here is the most extreme selfie photo ever taken in the world! An airplane pilot driving a commercial airplane took a selfie of himself from the cockpit window. By using a monopod, he opened the cockpit window and took the most extreme selfie in the world! Super extreme… and super fake. As is customary to exist on the internet, this is the work of a photoshopper troll. But it is quite an interesting picture nonetheless.
