NIce pictures. Always cool to see NZ from space.

Now, notes from a space programme nerd: The photos were taken the mission before last, in August, STS-118, aboard the Endeavour.

The most recent one was Discovery.
Sheesh, it should be OBVIOUS, the payload is CLEARLY not the Harmony Node, it's the S5 truss assembly. Gosh!

EDIT: Nah, I'm totally wrong actually.

Stunning pictures though.

Think the latest mission was Atlantis... unless it didn't take off last week. Actually think I remember it didn't cause some warning lights didn't come on or something.

Yeah pic 2 been around for ages.

Wicked photos - the clarity in space is incredible...

I want to go! :D

Has to be - there's cloud over Blenheim. Since when does that happen in real life?

On the space photos subject - anyone got any more on this Chinese nicking NASA photos of the moon thing?

[Dave-]

yeah not this mission

I'd love to do astro photography, be so awesome, only the best light, no shit to get in the way between you and the subject (read: air) and an infinite number of angles

I love those pics from space, especially how in the vacuum, and because they have hardcore cameras, the colour quality is amazing.

Bit scary looking out into all that 'nothing' though!

[Dave-]

eh there's only nothing for a finite distance then you run into a planet or star, pop to the other side and there's another lot of nothing....

the problem you'll face is the infinite number of fininte nothings.

[Usarka]

I was working on the premise that there is a finite number of infinite nothings..... damn.
