  • CTreps, on 01/21/2008, -15/+561That could make for the world's most bad ass facebook profile picture.
  • inactive, on 01/21/2008, -17/+307The best ever would have been without the helmet...
  • TalkingBanana, on 01/21/2008, -8/+247So it begins: The space-emo revolution.
  • vroom101, on 01/21/2008, -1/+185That's NASA Astronaut Clayton C. Anderson, ISS Expedition 15 flight engineer.

    via photo 7 --> http://chamorrobible.org/gpw/gpw-20061021.htm
  • gllopc, on 01/21/2008, -7/+171This astronaut is obviously a 15 year-old girl.
  • sunshinemonster, on 01/21/2008, -8/+158here's the one without the helmet: http://www.cyberpunkreview.com/images/totalrecall0 ...
  • UNL1M1T3D, on 01/21/2008, -1/+93How the hell can you tell that? All I see is a lens with white around it.
  • jdenial, on 01/21/2008, -2/+83i bet he's doing a kissy face
  • Lane, on 01/21/2008, -2/+80But it's not of this world.
  • JaggedHairball, on 01/21/2008, -2/+71You're all trying too hard.
  • JLecker, on 01/21/2008, -0/+67Beats standing in front of a mirror and looking like an unoriginal hipster. I'm looking at you, Myspace!
  • SLH06, on 01/21/2008, -0/+66So, how's Flickr going to Geotag this? :p
  • sumsuni, on 01/21/2008, -3/+64In which case, the title would be changed to the past tense.
  • Kanidia, on 01/21/2008, -0/+47Hey I'm in that picture!
  • JFitzpatrick, on 01/21/2008, -2/+46myspace jokes aside, the striking part of the picture is the view from the visor's reflection... a man floating in space looking down at the entire planet. Just imagining what that must have felt like is astounding. I can't imagine actually being up there or even being one of the guys to walk on the moon and look down on earth. Incredible stuff.
  • kewlito, on 01/21/2008, -0/+42The reflections are all wrong
  • nedaf7, on 01/21/2008, -0/+39I would hate to be the one who has to tag all of the people in that picture.
  • screwattackthis, on 01/21/2008, -3/+42Two*
    People appreciate good grammar. Three letters won't kill you.
  • kevinisnthere, on 01/21/2008, -0/+34NASA obviously stole the photo. The flickr page says "© All rights reserved."
  • KamikazeeDriver, on 01/21/2008, -1/+34yeah, no reflection of earth, and eyeballs exploding from the socket . . hmm. . . i think i like it better as it is
  • notoneofus, on 01/21/2008, -1/+31Ultimately it is, in reflection.
  • TheOneGreatX, on 01/21/2008, -3/+31In space, no one can hear you cry.
  • Nezzari, on 01/21/2008, -0/+25It's a bit too tall and thin to be the MK3. Proportions are a bit off.
  • sljepi, on 01/21/2008, -0/+20"My God, it's full of stars!"
  • BiggRanger, on 01/21/2008, -1/+20Anybody else surprised by all the scuff marks on the visor? Must be a PITA getting in and out of the ISS.
  • ieataquacrayons, on 01/21/2008, -7/+26MrBabyMan strikes again...
  • Stoutlimb, on 01/21/2008, -2/+18and "told u I was hardcore..."
  • Jones82, on 01/21/2008, -0/+16If an emo slits his wrists in space, does it make a sound?
  • Samsong, on 01/21/2008, -7/+22^lol
    And not really, then there would be no reflection of Earth...
  • macaddct1984, on 01/21/2008, -2/+17http://www.pbfcomics.com/?cid=PBF022-Space_Helmet. ...
  • TheVirus, on 01/21/2008, -2/+15Not really that extreme or abstract. You realize this is Digg and not RiceRocketForums.org, right?
  • crushfan, on 01/21/2008, -9/+22Mate, that would make a great MySpace profile picture.. Haha, get it? Space, self portrait.. Hehe.. Eh.
  • Proctor, on 01/21/2008, -1/+14NASA only brings up Nikon SLR's. Fluorite elements in Canon's best lenses shatter upon liftoff. Canon has never been on NASA's photo equipment list. The flash shoe mount looks a little too high up for it to be either a Canon or Nikon.
  • BigBallistix, on 01/21/2008, -0/+13Excellent choice of source, I loled hard.
  • D3koy, on 01/21/2008, -1/+13Making an image gray scale makes it myspace?
  • aaabatteries, on 01/21/2008, -4/+16He's got "the angles". ;)
  • lcarsdeveloper, on 01/21/2008, -0/+12Uhh, you do realise there IS a documentary about MrBabyMan, it's on Youtube - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhLoghrZ9vE
    "A day in the life of a Digger"
  • boobies, on 01/21/2008, -1/+12goatse in space.
  • ledguitar, on 01/21/2008, -0/+11Actually I agree with zomgorly's comment, just not the way he wrote it.
  • misterhat, on 01/21/2008, -2/+12...with another reddit repost.

    At least this time he waited for it to make it off the front page.
  • InspectorGadget, on 01/21/2008, -3/+13If this were on myspace, the astronaut would have placed himself with earth over his left shoulder so he'd look less fat by comparison. The visor would also have "sad eyes" drawn on in eyeliner, the top of the helmet would be unevenly cut and dyed, and somewhere the spacesuit would have a broken heart drawn on in Sharpie.
  • vroom101, on 01/21/2008, -0/+9Quick addendum: The only reason i posted the links is because the Flickr photo was only -- HELLO? -- 696 x 492 pixels! I thought, but wasn't sure, I'd seen the same photo elsewhere.
  • dbr_onix, on 01/21/2008, -0/+9"Myspace: The Next Generation"?
  • vroom101, on 01/21/2008, -0/+9I think one of the photos or more of the photosfrom the page has been on DIGG before, so it's not too hard to keep an eye on it. There are certain websites and web pages i watch because from time to time they publish good/interesting/cool stuff. This is one of those pages...photos are good...credits are good...and the big plus: high-resolution links!
  • klick37, on 01/21/2008, -2/+11"Hi mom!"
  • thedragon4453, on 01/21/2008, -0/+9To be fair though, this is the best one out of a couple hundred. The rest he took in a mirror and at odd angles.
  • greatkingrat85, on 01/21/2008, -0/+8Camwhore.
  • skase, on 01/21/2008, -1/+9Aww!! the digg picture preview ruined the surprise!
  • jjremy, on 01/21/2008, -0/+8The reflections are all wrong.
