    That is a great set. My buddy Rob (MORS-AB-ALTO) emailed me that link awhile back and I loved it then too.

    its amazing how clear pictures can be without pesky little things like air getting in the way.
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    Those shots are mind-blowing! The contrast and clarity is just out of this world (literally, I guess). :D

    Dumb question...how come you can't see any stars in the background?

    BECAUSE THE SPACE PROGRAM IS FAKE, THESE SHOTS WERE TAKEN ON A HOLLYWOOD SOUND STAGE.

    Just kidding, good question. I will speculate that the brightness of the sun reflecting off the shuttle and the earth throws off the contrast so distant bright objects are not visible.

    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
