    • dancraggs, on 02/24/2008, -1/+1Now, now. Some people have never heard of the since-the-Internet-was-invented NASA multimedia archives before; let's be nice.
  • Maddoktor2, on 02/24/2008, -2/+2It looks so fragile...
    • solidhayter, on 02/24/2008, -1/+0The planet or the satellite?
      • Maddoktor2, on 02/24/2008, -1/+5Yes.
        • TheWindBlows, on 02/25/2008, -0/+1I see what you are saying now...
          The planet needs to be run into the satellite in order to test its fragility.
  • rankftw, on 02/24/2008, -5/+5this story is lame, everybody undigg, honestly who dugg this *****?
  • tehrich, on 02/24/2008, -1/+2So much for looking at the front page and seeing the same damn thing in the top 10.
  • Elusis, on 02/24/2008, -2/+1hate to be a spoiler but this has been my desktop for a few days now, why do folks feel it necessary to post pictures that are easy to find in the NASA multimedia and are a few days "old" to boot, i mean I could see posting them on the day NASA posted them, but just now cause you found it? nahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
  • BrokenVisage, on 02/24/2008, -1/+2Oh come on, your first "backdrop" submission made front page, we get the point and if we wanted more most of us know there's a NASA page.
  • Akraz, on 02/24/2008, -2/+1buried, dupe.
  • SQLserver, on 02/24/2008, -4/+10Ah Ha!
    Anyone can tell that the picture is a FAKE!!!!!!!11
    For instance, why is there no GREEN in the picture? Earth has plenty of Green!
    Doesn't that Earth look like one of those corny old photo backdrops?
    And, who could have taken the picture? It's not like an Astronaut just floated away to take it!
    Its so OBVIOUS! We've never been to space! Its a FAKE! FAKE!!!!
    /sarcasm
    • lagartoflojo, on 02/24/2008, -1/+8This picture is proof that Earth is flat.
  • thundacracka, on 02/24/2008, -1/+6Anyone else trying to figure out where, exactly, on earth the picture is showing? Hm, Guess I'm a geek.
  • yy4ne1, on 02/24/2008, -2/+3just another image proving that the world is indeed flat!

  • ljsmithx, on 02/24/2008, -4/+0I HOPE THEY BLOW UP THAT PIECE OF ***** PLANET! AHAHAH DIE DIRTY HUMANS! DIE DIE DIE!!1
  • MrLevite, on 02/24/2008, -1/+0Nice high res pic. I can't get enough of these.
  • Nerdculture, on 02/24/2008, -1/+6Anyone able to recognize what land feature the satellite is above?
  • catachip, on 02/24/2008, -1/+1Can we please just provide a link to the NASA Picture of the Day website on the front page? Submissions from this website make it there almost every day.
  • zanejamal, on 02/24/2008, -1/+0Is it me or does it look like there is a Dalek on top of the small middle tower thing?
  • acidwire90, on 02/24/2008, -1/+1This is totally a cool pic


    again
  • TargetDog, on 02/24/2008, -1/+2Bah. Everyone knows that space stations are supposed to be giant rotating wheels with lots of windows and guest rooms for space tourists. That just looks like a bunch of solar panels with a Winnebago stuck on.
  • Hoogs, on 02/24/2008, -5/+2How many pictures of satellites do we need on Digg? Seriously, these are getting old fast.
    • KennMac, on 02/24/2008, -1/+4You probably should remove the Science>Space category from your preferences considering you don't seem to like it.

      I know I do.
      • Hoogs, on 02/24/2008, -2/+1I don't mind the occasional interesting space picture, but these are just all the same.
    • catachip, on 02/24/2008, -1/+2This is the International Space Station, not a satellite. I have not seen many satellite posts.
  • myass666mlong, on 02/24/2008, -1/+1man thats old
    i submit space ***** here bu t seem ppl only care bout satelites and a fall down headche
    balbahakbskiu
  • jbfdiggs, on 02/24/2008, -1/+1How old was this baby?
  • xxTazxx, on 02/24/2008, -2/+1Space pictures are amazing, however I am getting sick of the masses of them that are FP'd, if you think about it there are many other pictures, stories, videos, etc that are equally as amazing but don't seem to get on the frontpage.
    In order to totally ruin my argument, I call algorithm conspiracy theory.
  • klassica, on 02/25/2008, -0/+2Another awesome space photo. Can anyone identify the location of the land below? It's clearly some coastline.
