Just came across these and thought some of you might enjoy seeing them. I know little about our universe beyond a class I took last year but I always enjoy seeing some of these insane pictures of space.

Wow, indeed.

Interesting side note - my Dad is moving down to Huntsville to work on a project that I'm really not supposed to ID. But it's cool and hopefully I'll get to hear more about this kind of stuff. He told me he actually got to watch the last shuttle launch from the CCTV in the launch control center.
When it comes to Ryan Jenkins, the story ends with me putting him in the wall.

Those pics are unreal!

I can't think of a job more intense. Launch, walk around in space, come back through the atmosphere.

If there's one thing NASA knows how to do, it's take a picture...

The thing that strikes me about these pictures is they're just so... real.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth

Those pics kind of remind me of this, at least this is how I'd act if I was there in space doing that stuff
