In awe of the views
Hello everyone!
I was hoping someone could clear this up for me:
When astronauts first arrive at the space station, they’re in awe of the views. It is the sight of our planet that takes
the breath away. On board, you can get a panoramic view of Earth. But for the really exceptional views, you need to step outside for a spacewalk. One astronaut describes the experience: ‘Sometimes you feel that you are on this big flying building and it’s going round the world, but most commonly you feel that someone is rolling this huge ballshaped map beneath you. You have no feeling of motion.’
Does this "in awe of the views" mean that they admire the view they have from the inside of the space station or am I misinterpreting it?
Thanks in advance!

Yes.
(But I'm not sure that "admire" is the right word. "in awe" suggests that they are so overwhelmed that they are speechless.)

That is what the writer thought it meant. To say that they are in awe of the views implies that the views are doing something that merits great respect. The astronauts are awestruck by the views. The writer didn't k
