5 balloons is the universal symbol for "party over here" - spearce, on 10/11/2007, -0/+28***** amazing. Those guys get paid to do that.
I hate my job. - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+19Whoever says that NASA is wasting taxpayers money should be shown those pictures.
- OverThere, on 10/11/2007, -0/+17Absolutely amazing picture of the northern (or southern??) lights.
http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1041/635345863_bced4f351f_o.jpg - Bakkster, on 10/11/2007, -0/+15And I thought that picture of the aurora was doctored...
Amazing pictures! - fffizzz, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8That picture with the aurora hitting the atmosphere is amazing!
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8Awesome. Where do I sign up?
- FelixdaaHack, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8Now that's a picture for the family photo album....lucky bastard
- vroom101, on 10/11/2007, -2/+9That's a nice compilation...the astronauts certainly keep busy! Hope they sneak a looooooooong peek at the Earth during the spacewalks.
- ygrof, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6It's amazing stuff like this that actually makes me a little proud of the human race. How far will we go?
- EridanMan, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5What many of us ex-christians have realized that it is actually easier to do #2 if you abandon #1, that is, it is easier to build a life based on unconditional love for your neighbor and moving man-kind forward if you stop trying to tell people what to believe in terms of who is 'god' and who 'isn't'. Questions of divinity ALWAYS lead to disagreements in interpretation ALWAYS lead to pharasitic 'holier than thou' pissing contests which is in direct contradiction to "love one another unconditionally".
I'm sorry, but loving one another unconditionally, and working towards the common good is more important to me than "being right" about who has what kind of divinity. In the face of how tremendously important the latter is, the former because ego maniacal and silly. - pmichaelson, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Simply astounding. The pic of the sunrise over the ocean was just...awe inspiring.
- LuckyKarma, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Those guys have some cool facebook pics now...
- Pilot85, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5sweet, new desktop backgrounds.
On a related note, I know this is kinda blogspam since this stuff is available at the NASA site, but it's such a pain to find them there that I don't really care. - Jesse, on 10/11/2007, -5/+10The sunset over the pacific pic is so ***** beautiful.
- Metalmoon, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5The first spacewalk picture is surreal
http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1379/633947283_974227d084_o.jpg - KennMac, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Clear glass can filter harmful rays just as well as opaque glass. Glare shielding is a matter of preference.
- SmackaMuta, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Direct link to all STS-117 Atlantis Mission photos with Higher Resolution:

Link to all Shuttle Photos/Video/Audio:
http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/gallery/images/shuttle/index.html - spearce, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3i thought it was just the angle allowing us to see his face. Like how some polarized glasses allow you to see someones eyes when they are turned the right way.
- DopeWeasel, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Ditch Comcast... they are throttling your connection :P
- weebit, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3It's so much fun to amaze the kids with these Photos.
- Pilot85, on 10/11/2007, -0/+32 separate visors, my friend. The gold layered visor can be slid down over that visor. As far as I know, they can put them up, but only for short periods of time, as they are exposed to significant rad doses anyway.
- gostars, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2If it were only a higher resolution pic. I've looked for this at NASA and have not found this or a larger one. Anybody got a link to a big version of this?
- dyremaker, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Awesome
- GeezerD, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Science.
- FlapJaw, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2That's where every human in history lived. It's so amazing.
- Hatious, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2My oh my... those are some great photographs! I can't stop looking at the sunset over the Pacific.
- pixel, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2It's the 3rd from last. Note there are no stars. I'm impressed on how the aurora does show up.
- havokzero, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3This site shows where the space station currently is...
http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/realdata/tracking/ - Djerrid, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2By far, the best picture there:
http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1025/636208180_33399410ae_o.jpg - JoeBaynham, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2What I would give to be on that ship..
- vroom101, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1HUGE high-res photo:
http://digg.com/offbeat_news/Huge_Stunning_Spectacularly_Beautiful_Photo_of_a_Pacific_Ocean_Sunset - vroom101, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1You and me make two looking through NASA's archives looking for this image. I can't find it either. I'm wondering if it's a satellite photo or a composite image or maybe it's from the European Space Agency (ESA)...I don't know. If you find anything by all means post the info.
- jdoc, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Yeah, i thought it was really clever too, seeing the Red Sox, patriots posters and a picture of a dog (with a hat??) between the flags, lol
- HunterTV, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2**** BLOCK STATUS : Confirmed *****
- techwrekfix, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Those are truly awesome photos. Does NASA TV broadcast in HD?
- highdef, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2@ nesibus
Shhhh.... Don't tell anyone, they might get fired. - Mikecol, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1That had no place in this thread.
- Donarudo, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1@Spearce
Well it took a lot of hard work and dedication to get where they're at and get a paid for it. Not to mention all the years of High School and College being picked on by the popular kids. They deserve it. - joel182, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1You've summed up a massive problem here. The idea that if everyone believed in your religion, things would be ok. People won't all believe in one religion, people won't always follow good advice. Why can't we get over the 'my religion is best and if you all just believe in it things will be ok' barrier and start working towards making things better?
- neosimulacrum, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1The crew on board the ISS used a telephoto lens to zoom in on the shuttle, also magnifying the Earth in the background. That is not what one would see looking out the window. :-)
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1News to me!
- KennMac, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1VTFP (view the ***** pictures)
- kcchan1, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1They may not be in direct sunlight. The sun is probably blocked by the space station itself.
- manifestdestiny, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1it's not often you get to see pictures with the faces of the astronauts doing spacewalks. they're usually sporting those visors.
really nice pics though - harvinator24, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Wheres my dam rocket ship already, dam.
- Duhitsmichael, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Wow! You're so cool!
- stoanhart, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I can't decide between that one, and the aurora borealis... but the sunset is my wallpape atm
- Cyberen, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1It's because the aperture/shutter speed needed to photograph people and things on the lit side of earth is a lot less than what's needed to properly expose the stars and stuff in the night sky. The sun is still shining, albeit in space, so naturally it washes other stars out when photographed.
- Fanrir, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1They sure do. I've seen a number of STS lauches and landings on Discovery HD in the past few months. Your best bet, if you have digital cable, is to search by STS.
