SpinCaster, on 06/23/2008, -1/+12Where's all the Advertisng and Logo signs that would save the US taxpayer a mint!!

vroom101, on 06/23/2008, -0/+8Another very spectacular, very beautiful view: http://chamorrobible.org/images/photos/gpw-2006102 ... (Large), http://chamorrobible.org/images/photos/gpw-2006102 ... (Medium) via photo 32 at http://chamorrobible.org/gpw/gpw-20061021.htm (check out photo 33 too).

The clouds on the lower right appear to be von Karman vortices. Compare with...

PeteBeast, on 06/23/2008, -0/+7hardy har har!
daivos, on 06/23/2008, -3/+10When do they start work on the U.S.S. Enterprise?
STPZ, on 06/23/2008, -0/+5They have satellite...don't digg me down its the best i can do :(
silfiriel, on 06/23/2008, -1/+6..and those were the early days of the ISC (International Space City)...
vroom101, on 06/23/2008, -0/+4International Space Station photographed from NASA's Space Shuttle Discovery on 11 June 2008: http://www.esa.int/images/s124e010045.jpg via http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/ATV/SEMALNRHKHF_1.html (www.esa.int/SPECIALS/ATV/SEMALNRHKHF_1.html)
silfiriel, on 06/23/2008, -0/+4you can't see it on the photo, but the solar panels actually display google ads.
mamboboy, on 06/23/2008, -2/+6ಠ_ಠ
bouche, on 06/23/2008, -4/+8I've got news for you. There is an RSS feed for the APOD photos that you can subscribe to and spare us on digg from seeing APOD every single frikkin' day.

Who's going to help me bury these? I can't be the only one that sees how ridiculous the APOD post daily to digg is.
BossKey, on 06/23/2008, -1/+5"Now witness the firepower of this fully ARMED and OPERATIONAL battle station!"
Ciryon, on 06/23/2008, -2/+5You should turn that b around
DoscoJones, on 06/23/2008, -0/+3You can buy a ticket from the Russians for $20,000,000 per trip. Room and board is included.
KaJuN4, on 06/23/2008, -0/+2Strangely enough, that's what she just said!
inactive, on 06/23/2008, -1/+3AMAZING. You've been logged in for 12 of the past 22 hours.
If there was a GAYPOD, you'd be frontpage everyday.
silfiriel, on 06/24/2008, -0/+2I said the same thing long ago, and got buried. Then I realized why. By digging this we educate people, at least diggers. We also spread the spirit of exploration and technological advance. I subscribed to APOD and every day I digg the new photo.
WELLDOITLIVE, on 06/23/2008, -0/+2Nice, that one's new to me.
vroom101, on 06/23/2008, -0/+2"FOR SALE": http://dayton.hq.nasa.gov/IMAGES/MEDIUM/GPN-2000-0 ... Via http://grin.hq.nasa.gov/ABSTRACTS/GPN-2000-001036. ...
KaJuN4, on 06/23/2008, -0/+2That's what she said!
bouche, on 06/25/2008, -0/+2I will make the same comment as long as the same APOD newsfeed is hijacked to Digg every frikkin day. You wouldn't believe how little time it takes me to do that.
emaredubyou, on 06/23/2008, -1/+3d
S201, on 06/23/2008, -1/+2Slightly larger picture...

stephenhacking, on 06/24/2008, -0/+1I'm happy as long i can see it from home after its fully completed:)
inactive, on 06/24/2008, -0/+1you already are!
freezerburn666, on 06/23/2008, -3/+4i wanna move there, whats the rent like?
RyanFL, on 06/23/2008, -1/+2I believe that's the coastline of Western Sahara in the background.
jboettcher, on 06/23/2008, -0/+1Western Sahara? You mean West Africa?
vroom101, on 06/23/2008, -0/+1It's real.
jboettcher, on 06/23/2008, -1/+2This is cool... I've had a pic of this as my desktop for the last month, but I guess I'll update it with the new pic.
Bactame, on 06/24/2008, -0/+1Advertising signs are pretty well gone...notable exception might be this and similar pages
matt510, on 06/26/2008, -0/+1So it takes less time to post the comment than it does it scroll past the post? I bet.
AriaGloris, on 06/23/2008, -2/+3I want to go into space!
tw0bit, on 06/24/2008, -0/+1I think he meant iPod...
barc0de, on 06/23/2008, -1/+1The irony is - you can barely see the bit they added. The Japanese Kibo module is in the centre of the picture just peeking out from behind the main truss.
TexasFlood93, on 06/24/2008, -1/+1Did anyone misread the title as "The International Space Station EXPLODES Again?"
christ its late...
SpinCaster, on 06/23/2008, -0/+0Is that for real? Or photoshoped?
inactive, on 06/24/2008, -1/+1no - "iPood;" the replacement for their broken toilet!!!
bouche, on 06/25/2008, -2/+2you are educating people by clicking on a Digg button? Please. Leave the dream world and DO SOMETHING that actually educates people. ever teach a guitar lesson?
huxrules, on 06/23/2008, -1/+1Looks like they have a Direct TV dish on top.
drfeld, on 06/25/2008, -0/+0I can't really wrap my mind around the scale -- does anyone know of an image that shows the entire ISS including an EVA astronaut for comparison?
defectDS, on 06/23/2008, -4/+3Lame, spammy-like comments are LAME.
matt510, on 06/24/2008, -2/+1So you are going to make the same lame comment EVERY day? You realize that it takes MUCH more time to actually post this comment that it is to scroll the few lines past it?

Get a life.
NoCt1, on 06/23/2008, -2/+1arent they a relay for land based cable systems? So couldnt they just plug right in to it?
steger, on 06/23/2008, -4/+2My god, it's full of solar panels.
nagayoshi, on 06/23/2008, -4/+2lol i thought it said "The International Space Station Explodes Again" the first time i read it
heyitsgarrett, on 06/23/2008, -5/+1There are going to be way too many "That's what she said" opportunities in this thread.
