My magic mirror onto space

Though it would probably first be installed in science museums rather than sold as a home decor item, I want a magic mirror onto space. Take a high resolution screen, an HD-level or higher resolution at a fine dot pitch, not a huge screen with many but huge pixels. Decorate the rim to look like a porthole on the International Space Station, perhaps with thick piece of glass over the screen. Hook it up to a live feed from NASA of a fixed camera pointed out from the ISS, broadcasting whatever you'd see if you glanced out of a window on that part of the space station. Leave it running. Install it on an interior wall of your house, ideally in a room without windows, and forget about it. Glance up once in a while to see what things look like outside. Way outside.

Yesterday's menu:
breakfast: donuts, chocolate milk, orange juice, bacon
lunch: cuban style grilled cheese, greens salad
dinner: moroccan flavored beef stew with golden raisins, beluga lentils with mushrooms, couscous, salad with soy dressing, meyer lemon oil cake
